Little history: Long time ago, when KDE 1.x was available, Michael Forster worked on KMag utility. Program was quite good at that time. When it come evident for me that webdevelopment and webdesign will not be productive if web pages cannot be easily scrutinized, I started to search on the web for some kind of magnifying tool for KDE. I found KMag very, very hard, but now all it's ok. I have KZoom developed from KMag and I can done my web development job easily. KMag project is now continued by Sarang Lakare and his project is located at: http://kmag.sourceforge.net.
