I ask because I have no idea of the work load regarding other issues or how hard/easy it is to fix, and I would like to know if I can expect it within a reasonable time and therefore not have to branch my own software to a generic and an also-lynx-support branch, I hate branching :-) Thanks a lot, Peter ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
