1. Introduction

        These days, everyone seems to be interested in developing new
programs for classic SEGA systems. However, few people actually get to 
code something useful.

        There is nothing to blame for that. Programming for these systems
is a difficult task, and few people can actually do it. 

        To make their task easier, I made FudeBrowser for SG1000. 
FudeBrowser is an offline graphic Web Browser for the SG1000 machine. 
With FudeBrowser, anyone can convert any HTML page into a SG1000 ROM,
without any additional programming. All you need is basic HTML knowledge.

        The magic is done by the Web Intelligent Server, or just 
WISE for short. WISE will read the HTML page, load the images, and convert
everything to a format readable by the SG1000. The generated file
can be loaded into an EPROM and run by a real SG1000, or you can load
it into any SG1000 emulator, such as BrSMS.

        I hope you like this program, and be sure to post in your
site any cool ROMs you make with it.

2. Requirements

        WISE requires a PC running MS-DOS. A DPMI server such as CWSDPMI
or Windows95 DOS Prompt must be available. A fast machine with lots of
memory is recommended.

        FudeBrowser requires an SG-1000 machine. 
        Any good SG-1000 emulator, such as BrSMS, can be used instead.

3. WISE Syntax

        Usage of WISE is quite simple. You must have the .html document
and all the images it uses on the same directory. Then, just type:

        WISE PAGE.HTM PAGE.SG

        This will generate the SG1000 ROM, saving the page in the 
file PAGE.SG. Now you just need to burn it into an EPROM or load it 
into your favorite emulator. The syntax for loading a page with BrSMS is:

        BRSMS PAGE.SG

        The current version of WISE cannot read all kinds of images 
supported by Netscape. The only graphic format supported is the 24-bit
flavor of .PCX. You will need a file format conversor if you want to 
see GIF or JPEG images.

        The HTML tags currently supported are:

        <A>
        <BR>,<P>,<HR>
        <BODY BGCOLOR>,<BODY TEXT>,<BODY LINK>,<TITLE>
        <U>,<B>,<CENTER>
        <H1>,<H2>,<H3>
        <IMG ALT>,<IMG SRC>
        <FONT COLOR>,<FONT SIZE>
        <DL>,<DD>,<DT>,<UL>,<LI>
        <TT>,<CODE>,<PRE>

        Many escape codes are supported, such as &nbsp; &lt; &gt; &amp; 
&quot; &aacute; &Aacute; &Ccedil; &ccedil; and other accentuated characters.

4. FudeBrowser Usage

        During the browsing, you can press the following keys:

        UP            - move the cursor up
        DOWN          - move the cursor down
        LEFT          - move the cursor left
        RIGHT         - move the cursor right
        BUTTON 1+UP   - scroll one line up
        BUTTON 1+DOWN - scroll one line down
        BUTTON 2      - used to "click" on objects

        Currently the only clickable objects are the arrows in the right
scrollbar, used to scroll the screen.
