no, but I'm thinking about implementing one (just thinking
for now :-).

no, and I don't think I will try to implement one :-)
you should instead look at Win32::OLE, to see if you can
embed an InternetExplorer instance in a window.
that said, it seems that RichEdit 3.0 (available in
Windows 2000) has a lot of nice features, that I'll try to
implement if time permits.

yes, support is for .BMP files only. there is something in
the Win32 API about JPGs, but I have not yet investigated it
thoroughly.

no, you don't have to pay anything. I'm not a lawyer and I don't
want to pay a lawyer :-)
Win32::GUI is released under the Artistic License, eg. you can
redistribute it under the same terms of Perl itself.
