The need for Galeon is not as a a browser but because it is the only quarter decent tool for viewing Gnome help files. Neither Mozilla or Epiphany understand the ghelp "protocol" and for yelp it is an incredible piece of crap. Start gnumeric and try browsing its help. Yelp needed 4 (FOUR) CPU minutes to display something on a PII/400 and it was not a RAM problem but the stupid thing trying to parse the entire help hierarchy instead of the root file. A so long delay makes Gnumeric as good as if it were undocumented because the user cannot afford a so long delay. And you cannot print from Yelp (PLEASE, don't tell me there is a utility for printing ghelp files, the user does not see it on the Gnumeric help men). I have some users who wanted a spreadsheet running on a Unix platform and given that StarOffice is too heavy for the machine I thought Gnumeric was the answer but without a decent help browser I have had to give up. Fortunately I had an old Redhat 7.3 (with Galeon) otherwise I would have had to advise my users to use Excel. First time Galeon is started it prompts the user for he wants to use it for displaying gnome-help files (ie the user does not need to navigate in any config utility). In addition Galeon displays them nearly instantaneously AND it can print. I want my Galeon back!!!!! -- Jean Francois Martinez <jfm512@xxxxxxx>
