Here you are wrong. Of course you can't make WinXP or Win98 more bloated by adding *just another 11MB*. But this size matters for Linux, and especillay for PDAs. How you will put extra 11MB, say, on Compaq iPAQ? | | Rather than put a crippled form of SVG in web browsers, perhaps Adobe | should put a rudimentary XHTML browser/XSLT Processor into their SVG | Viewer. Or make their SVG plugin open-sourced - than people with good coding knowledge will strip all fat from that plugin. :-)) Note that there are people who run Linux (or other OSes) on PowerPC, Alpha and other platforms, I know some people run KDE on IBM zSeries servers (previously known as mainframes) Adobe just can't catch up on all those platforms. And there is no SVG plugin from Adobe for those platforms. Abyway, about putting a rudimentary XHTML browser/XSLT Processor into SVG Viewer - this will not help in case of Adobe. I tested Adobe plugin for Linux with Mozilla 0.9.5. Mozilla is bloated by itselkd, takesa around 20 sec. to load here. And .. SVG plugin takes another 15 sec. to display page. Yes, you can get rid of Mozilla, it will save you 20 sec. But 15 sec. for startup is still enermous!.. | | Max -- Vadim Plessky http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) 33 Window Decorations and 6 Widget Styles for KDE http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_themes.html KDE mini-Themes http://kde2.newmail.ru/themes/
