NY/SigAPL:HTML4.0-Forms
This was one of those events where I really wonder why I am alone in the
room taking my notes in a computer .
Beyond the very significant accomplishment of making an HTML
Parser in APL , Fred pointed out that MS InternetExplorer4.0 actually
restructures Windows95 embeding HTML at a very low level - making it the
display interface for the entire screen -- which may be the most
consequential change in Windows98 -- a fact not pointed out in NYC.ACM:Windows98/NT5
