ability to format and display HTML..."

My project to implement BarryScript (a pale, sickly version of Javascript,
suitable for further experimentation and maybe an MS) is plodding along at
a reasonable pace. Whys and wherefores (if you missed them) are in the
archives.

When I asked this question, I was pointed to a port to OS/2. Since I
ended up not going that route, I never checked out the reference. It
should be in the archives as well. If someone else has already done it,
then it's just a question of porting.
