Google Toolbar for RISC OS

I haved decided that it is time to release my first *useful* RISC OS [3] desktop program, the Google Toolbar for RISC OS.

The program is a copy of the Google Toolbar which has been available for Windows computers running Internet Explorer for some time, and allows you to search the web, search for images, search the Usenet archive and the web directory from your desktop.

!Google will work with any RISC OS web browser (currently except Fresco, which I am currently investigating) without any settings needing to be changed to change browser.

The program can be downloaded from here [4] and a BASIC source release is also available. The current version being 0.39.

Neat little app - works too!

Now the really cool thing would be the ability to have this as a browser window attached app, or embedded in the browser (next to the address bar, a bit like how it's done in Opera on other platforms)
