I was wondering if the Highwire Web browser project is still in development or not. Can anyone give me information concerning this? I wanted to experiment in getting Web access on my Atari 1040STE.
Thanks.

Well, since there hasn't been any activity for about 2 years I guess it's
fair to say the project is as good as dead. Fortunately the source code is
available, so it can help other projects indirectly. A free project never
really dies, in a way.
Cheers,

To be honest, I'm not even sure Highwire would be usable on a 1040, if it
really only has 1Mb RAM. I would suggest CAB, which is slower but known to
work even on very low end Ataris.
