Feel free for download and look at the source code, send us patches
with new features or bug fixes. Every contribution will be apreciated.<br>
<br>
ps1 : Special thanks for Doug Turner, the leader of the MiniMo/Mozilla
Project, and your important help and advices.<br>
<br>
<b>ps2 : Some troubles still remain if the building was performed
through the '.deb' files: The menu item created can not startup the
application (MANaOS). Tips ?? In this case, the start up of the
application must be done from the scratchbox command line enviroment,
using the 'run-standaone.sh' env script.<br>
<br>
$$$$$$ run-standalone.sh /usr/bin/run-manaos.sh<br>
</b><br>
We hope you enjoy it as you can !!! ;)<br>
<br>
kind regards<br>
