RE: Recommended HP COBOL way to exit a paragraph or perform early? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2 Sep 07 18:41:14 EDT From: cook@wvnvms.wvnet.edu (George Cook) Subject: ANN: VMS Mosaic 4.2 Message-ID: Release 4.2 of VMS Mosaic is now available at ftp://alpha.wvnet.edu/mosaic/mosaic4_2.zip VMS Mosaic is a GUI web browser. It supports HTML V4.0 (including tables and frames), animated GIFs, cookies, secure connections, etc. It does not support Java, JavaScript or style sheets. A C compiler is required to build it. Executables built on VAX/VMS (5.4-3 and 7.3), on Alpha VMS (7.3-2 and 8.2) and IA64 (8.2-1) are available at: ftp://alpha.wvnet.edu/mosaic/exe/ These executables are unlikely to work on versions of VMS older than what they were built on, but they should work on newer versions. The most significant changes in this release are: 1. Simultaneous inline image loading 2. Support for JPEG 2000 images. 3. Support for a few common JavaScript functions 4. Improved SSL certificate validation plus an updated CERT.PEM 5. Improved FTP support 6. Many bug and memory leak fixes, and improved performance The complete list of changes since release 4.1: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- o Added support for simultaneous inline image downloading o Added preference settings to enable/disable and limit simultaneous image downloading o Added support for JPEG 2000 images with LIBOPENJPEG v1.2.0 o Added support for form button OnClick and anchor URLs containing JavaScript functions "history.back()", "history.forward()", "window.close()", "window.print()", "location.reload()", "openExternal('xxx')" and "alert('xxx')" o Added support for
