Here is a list of the features added to the various versions of WebSurf.
The order inside the list is that in wich the real improvements have been
made, not an order of matter for these.
                          ------------------------
New features in version 1.2 - February 10, 1996:

  - A phrase can now spread over two or more lines;
  - The bar indicator is now proportional to the size of the document that has
    been loaded;

    asked wether you want to stop loading or forget the top of the page;
  - Option to start or resume loading;
  - WebSurf speaks Italian and Norwegian;
  - Shortcut for Exit changed to Psion-X for English, Psion-A for Norwegian,

    command;
  - Anchors: WebSurf knows HREF and NAME attributes of the anchor <A> element.

    only links that can be followed are those which are inside the document
    itself, for example <A HREF=#Title>title</A> leads to
    <A NAME=Title>Here is the target</A>. When there are more than one link
    on the screen, you are asked which one you want to follow, otherwise you
    are automatically brought to the only existing one. There can be an
    unlimited number of links in a document;
  - A manual is now there to help you to get the maximum from WebSurf, it has
    been made in HTML format.
