 just as an aside: I've spoken at CeBIT with someone who had (then)
already made a Gekko-ized version of WebExplorer and it seems to work.
Or to be less cryptic: use the html-rendering engine of Mo/Warp-zilla
to properly display html in a(ny) program's window. This general
approach has been discussed at length some time ago on the eCS list.
BTW, as to the person having done this feat, I'm not supposed to be
more specific; sorry.

 If the OS/2 programmer's community would be a bit more focussed on the
things we really need (and less so on conquering MS or porting the *nix
universe), quite a few problems wouldn't exist (and there wouldn't be
significantly more by acting this way). Gekko is around since when???
[btw, this need not to be done by BSW, they could just incorporate /
load such a DLL].
