This is the one sticking point that's stopped me > from replacing lynx with links on all of my machines. w3m does. links does not. i tend to use w3m for viewing local html files, and links for actual web browsing, since links does render-while-downloading, etc which makes it feel a little nicer over a slow link. i got freaked out by w3m displaying an image in my xterm just a few days ago. since when/how does an xterm display an image? there's also w3, which can be textual or graphical, depending on what options you have turned on. w3 is the emacs web browser, of course ;) having said that, i've started using w3m-el, since i've found w3 to be a little slow on my machine. (i wish some of the "popular" web browser groups would have a look at w3 and steal some ideas out of it tho) -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

The login/password stuff set on a htpasswd file? (Just making sure that you're not talking about general SSL). > i got freaked out by w3m displaying an image in my xterm just a few > days ago. since when/how does an xterm display an image? Escape codes; I think it's G. I don't know if there's support for it in the official xterm, but I think rxvt has had an experimental graphics mode thing for yonks, and therefore aterm would too. Not sure about Eterm and xterm. That's pretty funky though. I've never _seen_ graphics in a terminal before, even though there's theoretically been support for it for ages ... -- #ozone/algorithm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - trust.in.love.to.save -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Graphics terminals have been around for years: the first computer game I ever encountered (1975) was Moon Lander on a mainframe (Burroughs or IBM, but I've long since recycled the neurons which remembered which one) running on a vector graphics terminal. Even VT-220s could do limited graphics through downloadable character sets. I remember using Word Perfect 5.1 on VMS and doing Print Preview on a VT-220. OK, so it was a bit chunky, but it gave you a good idea of how the page would look.
