Just a 30 seconds dream : a small, fast and robust web browser... Wouldn't you like to have a GC in Netscape ? Wouldn't you like to use powerfull tools able to program a defensive parsing for all the HTTP/Javascript garbage you can find out there ? Isn'it what *every* people need ? I can dream no other definitive killer app for Ocaml. -- Cuihtlauac ALVARADO - France Telecom R & D - DTL/MSV/MFL 2, avenue Pierre Marzin - 22307 Lannion Cedex - France Tel: +33 2 96 05 32 73 - Mob: +33 6 08 10 80 41 - Fax: +33 2 96 05 39 45 ------------------- Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr
