Saves that download time and only takes a few seconds. It's a rather efficient way to travel across different AW universes, without a large download... Seems simple enough? (Not to mention obvious) M u n k u y [View Quote] Although I fully agree with the spirit of the article as far as viruses etc are concerned, I fully disagree with the contents. AW has neglected to provide a trans-universe browser, thereby fractalising its own potential community and earnings. Many attempts to change the code of the aw browser are aimed at correcting this behaviour. There is still no way one can use ONE aw browser to surf the multitude of aw based software (not to mention that you can't even interact or load the rendering machine from a web page). The fact aw based worlds are only reacheable by downloading the 1.5 MB files, plus that this action will only work for one universe, handicaps the whole system... You will never be able to organise a multi-system, multi-universe event unless you tamper with aw's shortcomings: that is what most of the efforts to modify the aw browser have been aiming at. Instead of publishing such an article, it might have been much better if aw would have tried to solve (it's not at all difficult to do so, MUCH simpler that trying to push the rendering engine) their universality complexes. AW is worth a lot to users, and promises a bunch... but it still seems to be contemplating its own navel :( ------=_NextPart_000_008B_01BFEF86.61216D60 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4030.2400" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DVerdana size=3D2>Well.. couldn't one just goto their = 'aworld.ini'=20 file, type in a new section celled '[universe]' then enter a host = address or=20 port number to access another universe?.
