Downloaded and working well. Many thanks to the team. Seems to be faster than the latest test release of 3.0. It's on my VARPC and my Risc PC with OS 3.5.

I also have NetSurf on my Mac, a G5 with twin PPC processors running OS 10.5.8. I have NetSurf 2.7 and saw that 2.9 was available. However, selecting the Mac option took me to 2.8 for Mac (not 2.9) and after downloading it I found it would not work with the PPC architecture. This was a disappointment. Is 2.9 going to be available for Macs with the Power PC processor?

Thanks, Alan
