Webster's System Requirements

Webster currently requires the following of your machine.
Memory
2MB Minimum. (You need a TCPIP stack running as well as Webster, so this will be very tight)
4MB Reccommended.
A hard Disc
Webster it's self requires less then 1Mb, but a decent size Cache for the images and pages will require several Megabytes.
640x480 screen with 16 or more colours
Ideally you should use the highest available resolution that supports 256 colours.
For Network (Internet) access ...
Either TCPIP (Also called KA9Q) It's Probably on the machine that you got this from.
Version 2.01 (or later)
Webster comes setup to use this.
OR FreeNet
Version 1.02 or later
You need to use Standard Fetchers. One called FreeWeb is supplied, or you can use AcrWebTCP.
OR Acorn's TCP/IP
This is probably available from ftp.acorn.co.uk.
A fixed pitch font.
Several HTML styles should use a fixed width font. Use the Font Setup to pick your font. (Not vital)
