^Strigeus, Ludvig. "WebWorks 1.3". Luddes program. Archived from the original on 2000-10-17. Retrieved 9 July 2021. WebWorks is also developed in 32-bit Delphi 2.0, which means that it adapts very well to Windows 95's appearance and interface. In addition, Delphi 2.0's compiler is a very optimizing compiler, which means that the programs are also fast. WebWorks began development in the fall of 1997, then in 16-bit Delphi 1.0. Later I got Delphi 2.0 which became a real step forward with colored tags and the ability to open any size file (only the computer's memory that limits), unlike 16-bit programs where you could only work with 32 kB large texts. In addition to being fast, the program also includes most smart features. The flexible file box and the tabs are just a few examples. WebWorks also includes context menus for most commands from bold text to java script. If you have Internet Explorer installed, it is also possible to preview images and documents directly in WebWorks without having to start a Web browser. In addition, it is possible to use an external browser as well. (WebWorks är en otroligt kraftfull och flexibel HTML-Editor med allt vad som krävs för att göra en professionell hemsida.
