I love text browsers, and generally prefer them if something else isn't absolutely required. Having tried all I can I have consistently found elinks to be the best performer of the lot. It has the most flexible configurations, with all the best features of the others combined into one (with the exception of javascript and https I think). It has features such as tabs, a status bar (with a clock), 256 color support, tables, and so on. It can even set the background color to that of the original page which can be quite cool in many instances (if you're not reading slashdot). If one is really doing a lot of text browsing elinks is very much worth the look. Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
