Скачать или смотреть HTML viewer for MSX proof of concept

Parsing and showing the frontpage of msx.org on MSX.

The HTML is processed and displayed on the fly with some primitive formatting. Being a proof of concept I only implemented basic parsing.

The display speed is mostly limited by the slow character display in MSX-DOS, doing an interslot call for every character printed. Due to this it’s comparable in speed to the TYPE command. I’ll add text routines which directly communicate with the VDP next which should speed things up greatly. Nevertheless it already scrolls faster than you can read, so that’ll just mean it’ll pass by in the blink of an eye.

Note this is running on a turboR. Also note I do not plan to actually pick this up as a full project ;).
