[WEB4LIB] Public Browser from Team Soft

[Huntington Woods Public Library]

Another question about Public Browser...

It looks great at first glance, but can any tell me if it supports
integration with filters?  Michigan State law requires us to filter at least
some of our public Internet terminals.
