Adding new features to OmniWeb...

Hi!

I'm a OmniWeb lover from Tokyo Japan.

I believe people at Omni can do anything. But, guess who are giving  
the most biggest benefit from using Text object on Omniweb. Japanese  
Users!
As using Text Object, developers need few consideration about Kanji  
Font and Japanese text handling. What they have to do is just a  
exchanging shared library from English and Japanese(Actually, some  
volunteer do it in evey time. It takes just 0.3 second after a few  
words key strokes.).

This is what Object Oriented programming is.

Paul Hegarty said "Finally, we will do on the Text Object on 4.0 and  
openstep." at NEXTSTEP EXPO '94. I believe that Text Object on 4.0(and  
NeXTSTEP4.0 framework) bring some wonderful scalability and TRUE multi  
lingual support. Before 4.0 comes our hands, we rewrite our code with  
using NSString Object instead of using char*.Notice that one letter can  
not be represented one byte character code in EVERY CASE.

Netscape is great product. But it is one of application on WINDOWS or Mac.
I use NEXTSTEP, it works as a WWW server, ftp server, Mail server and  
as a Web browser. I want to drug out some text blocks and images from  
browser window of Omniweb into my Mail window or my KANJI-RTFD  
document.

Anyway, I'm so happy with OmniWeb. And you?
