EL> Hehe ... ever use Lynx?
Er..almost! :-) I started setting it up a couple of months ago, but
went on to other things. I have it on one of my CD's-Crawley Crypt1,
I think. Unless the STIK browser works out to be reasonably fast,
Lynx WILL be the way that I go. On a Falcon like I have, full
graphical browsing make the machine next to unuseably slow. Now when
I get my DEC Alpha.... :-)
EL> Its nice and fast, does
EL> bold+underline and other text attributes (maybe inverse too,
EL> depending on your terminal type) and all graphics show up as
EL> [IMAGE] and you can arrow over to it, hit ENTER and
EL> download it if you want.
Now that is intelligent use of system resources. I really don't
wanna slow my system to a crawl just to download 10 pictures of some
guy's cat! I can understand users wanting to stay with present
equipment if it is working, but there comes a point when you either
have to upgrade or do with out. My laugh of the week was someone
mentioning that a user wanted to know why Papyrus didn't run in ST
Low- ***** I mean, it's not like the ST came out
yesterday and we are being asked to buy an 060 machine today-ST's
were basically designed 10 years ago. Time to move on.
EL> Its a pure text HTML browser so you
EL> can run the interface locally, or by dumb-terminal (such as on
EL> a BBS). It will find HTML documents locally (run a hypertext
EL> BBS with Lynx if you like), or via internet.
A hypertext bbs? Like some of the Mac bbs packages? Hmmm...now that
sounds interesting.
... A feature is a bug with seniority.
