What is the status of Kantara Developments(*) update to Cyberdog, Blake?

Blake will be released in beta form when Microsoft (yeah, THAT Microsoft) releases the ActiveX/Internet Explorer Control SDK. Blake, in the words of Steve Roussey of Kantara Development, is … a software adapter, not an HTML engine. For what? For Active-X and specifically for the Internet Explorer control. I know many of you hate Microsoft, but please read on. Blake makes the IE 3.0.1 engine play _inside_ Cyberdog and act as a replacement for the default HTML part. Now, although having a Microsoft product of ANY sort is distasteful to lots of folks, this little piece of sleight-of-code will allow Cyberdog to handle some of that fancy new stuff, like style sheets and progressive jpegs, that keeps popping up on the Web.
