Thanks, although it's actually an evolution of the search program on
the final CUCD. That was a bit limited in that I was halfway through
writing it when I was told CU was closing. Finishing it suddenly became
rather unimportant. AACD03 should add the facility to store the index
files on your hard drive, for increased search speed.

It would be possible, but pointless. Since no other browser can handle
the arexx links.

Or do you mean that you want to be able to use AWebSE? That won't be a
problem, if AWeb is already running (any version) SearchCDs will output
to that. However, AACD02 is already at the duplicators, and we'll have a
special version of AWebSE for AACD03 anyway.
