HTMLview cannot view PDF files. It only views HTML files (version 4 or less on Amiga-like operating systems usually). Polybios plugin can view PDF files though.

Most people I know of in C++ use the default constructor in a "factory method" anyway because it's faster and more flexible. Is there any advantage at a...

I want to implement the basic inheritance chain of the framework linked above. My biggest complaints directed toward .NET and Java are their huge frameworks of runtime libraries. Since Hollywood lacks one I want to make a more minimal one that will take less development time. For me, the hardest par...
