I managed to get it fine with Netscape (I soon saw the error of my ways
and used wget though :). .jp traffic does tend to be a bit slow usually.

I have to say the installation is a bit crap. It just didn't work at all.
Execute tplauncher, nothing. toppage -e, nothing.

So I fished around and found that basically it's just the windows install
tucked away in a subdir. Ran my CVS copy of wine over the executable and
hey presto, it works.

I have to say, my first impressions weren't too good. It doesn't actually
do very much. I don't understand editors like this. There is an "Insert
script" menu item, but it doesn't come with any stock Javascript. My
thoughts being, if you can write the Javascript, you can damn sure write
the HTML.

It did seem to be a waste of 16Mb...

Oh, and the stock graphics suck.
