About:

The Merlin browser is simple webbrowser that was developed as part of NarrowCasting software,
but emphasis has shifted to Amiga computers.
Support for CSS and javascript is build in, but not finished yet.
Its available for Amiga OS4 PPC and Amiga 68K, MS Windows, Apple macintosh.
(note that it also compiles on Linux, but that that version doesn't have JPEG and PNG support yet)

Requirements:

Amiga: All Merlin needs is Kickstart 2.0+
It should work on OCS, ECS, AGA, Picasso96, Cybergraphix.
It is tested on my Eyetech AmigaOne XE G4, which is almost as fast as a Mac or PC.
It also runs on my Commodore Amiga 4000 with Picasso graphics card and ariadne network card,
but you need enough fast memory to run it with a decend speed.
It should compile on Morphos and run on the Genesi Pegasos, but i havn't tested that yet.
I started to test it on my Commodore Amiga 2000 with A2630 and Ariadne card, and it more
or less works.
Mac: Any version of OSX, PPC or Intel.
Windows: Any version should work, tested on Windows 2000 or better.
Linux: Merlin requires X or DirectFB and DirectFB for JPG/PNG.

License:
This version is shareware but copyrighted by A.P.Spijkerman.
You are allowed to download it for use on your system.
You are not allowed to distribute it.

Development:

Fixed a lot of bugs and memory leaks, and made a start portal.
The emphasis now is on the HTML and CSS engine, and download thread.
Also with a recompile it should run on Morphos natively.

I got faster internet, with a different type of account .. which means the IP-numbers
of the servers also changed, these hold the startup pages of the browser.
So startup pages did not work anymore.

So i made more or less a maintenance update V0.07.
This version still uses the old engine, but has a lot of fixes, is faster and uses less memory and stack.

Added a photo of a Linux version now on fedora 12 with fixed graphics and fonts.
