No, not really... it was pretty crashy for me (on both i386 and m68k), and
a lot of the "fancier" websites don't render correctly... I thought amaya
was supposed to be a nice modern browser that knew about tables and
frames...

That was version 1.1b... I just tried to compile 1.1c, but it's even
harder to compile than 1.1b (I wonder if they actually try to build amaya
from scratch before release it). There's the standard problem of the
configure script not working right if you don't enable Java support, and
now the 1.1c distribution seems to be missing a lot of files. All of the
libwww stuff, for instance.

I suppose I'll just download the Linux binary and try it out on my
pentium... if it actually works decently, I might try to get it to compile
on NetBSD :)
