Scotty, now that you're playing with your iLiad again, would you be interested in looking at this again?

Support for Embedded Mozilla would make it easier to port dot Reader to the iLiad but would not be a complete solution. Embedded Mozilla is AKA XulRunner its a way to share the Gecko render engine embedded in FIrefox with other applications that wish to use it.
What the iLiad uses is something known as MiniMo which is a reduced memory version of the Mozilla Browser. As with GTK and Java on the iLiad it has been chopped to make it fit. :behead:
The MiniMo browser is I think pretty broken on the iLiad. As such the dot Reader ported to use it would inherit this broken-ness.
I'd be much more interested in getting a dot Reader working on top of the Java HTML browser from Sun/Gnu.
