Not for me, as I'm more used to Lynx, but from my logs (and I don't have so many hits) I could notice some people using the 0.96 binary. I'd volunteer if I were a programmer, which is a prerequisite since maintainers are expected to fix any Cygwin problems. The Links authors don't seem to care - see UNSUPPORTED in http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mikulas/links/download/binaries/win32/ . The good thing is that recent Links and Links 2 build OOTB on Cygwin with 2 minimal changes, and don't appear to have any problems. Anyway, I'm still unsure what'd be better to replace it, if Links 2 2.1pre14 or ELinks 0.4.2. ELinks has many advantages (and many more in 0.5pre) but lacks the minimal JavaScript support and graphical frontend - see http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-11/msg00035.html . The problem with Links 2 running with the graphical frontend is that accentuation doesn't work (at least for me), only on Linux with the frame buffer. So, while it's great to have images and such, something is wrong, and for now I'm going to investigate it. -- http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html
