Dillo - now a graphical web browser for DOS (Announce)

Thank you! This is a great achievement! The browser seems to work well for me with many websites. However, is there a way to select a character encoding? Are such features supported? Also I have noticed that relatively large websites take a long time to render. For example, I have waited a long time to render www.lenta.ru. Whilst it was loading, the mouse cursor was doing around 1 FPS, and the program was not responding to the mouse button clicks.

Regarding long file names - I personally do not see them being a problem. I agree SFN would be nice, but using them is hell. It has been a long time since I have permanently included doslfn in my AUTOEXEC.BAT. Note that you should load your disk cache afterwards (not before) for LFNs access to be of reasonable speed.
