CHECK OUT MY HOMEMADE BROWSER There are two files available for download: Browser.zip includes all the files you need to install a working version of the browser. Simply unzip the files to a folder and click on setup.exe to install. Browser_src.zip is the Visual Basic source code. You will need any flavor of Visual Basic 5.0 or higher to examine the code. Unzip the files to a folder and click on browser.vbp to launch the project. The code was written using the instructions at www.microsoft.com/ie/buildbrow.htm with some additional code taken from David I. Schneider's An Introduction to Programming Using Visual Basic 5.0 (Prentice Hall, 1988). Code creation and compilation were done using Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 Enterprise Edition. DISCLAIMER: I threw this project together in maybe three hours, including the time required to compile and package the installer (using Microsoft's Setup Wizard). Needless to say, it has not been extensively tested, and I can't guarantee results. I have installed the browser on machines running Internet Explorer 4.01 under Windows 95 and 98. It should also work with IE 3.0, but I haven't tried it because I didn't have a properly set up machine handy. Note: Visual Basic and Windows 95 and Windows 98 are trademarks of Microsoft Corp.
