W3m or Lynx

W3m or Lynx

[Victor Tsaran]

Hi, Kirk!
On Linux-speakup.org you say that "for those who use either Lynx or W3m".
What is W3m?
Regards,
Vic

Hi
	W3M is another text-based web browser. It's a little awkward,
because there seems to be no way to number links. It doesn't do a bad job
with frames, and if it's compiled correctly with the OpenSSL library, it
can use SSL, as lynx can. Personally, I like lynx, as it gives more
flexibility with regard to the download of files, and option
settings. Lynx also decolumnizes sights such as www.debian.org, where w3m
does not do this. However, with w3m you can actually use it like emacs/w3
in that you can arrow through the web page line at a time. Each one has
its good and bad points, it's too bad none of them support javascript yet.

Thanks, Jacob! I will get to RPMfind.net and see if I  can get hold of the
.rpm of W3m to try it out. Is it in contstant development like Lynx? "Cos
Emacs/W3 seems to be halted.

Hi
	It seems to be. The rpm is *not* up to date at all. I believe the
version current is 0.1.8, but I haven't checked recently.
	BTW: This is not an emacs lisp program, it just has some
similarities to it.
