Lou,

Looks great! There was just today a discussion at the IETF of how
a good screen mode www is needed! I will move the tar files and
put in pointers when I get home next week, and announce it as beta.
I just played with it a little, I will mention it to a few people here
and forward you rmessage to www-talk. If your code is not on
the server in a week, mail me again in case I dropped all my mail in a hole.
or the plane crshed or something. I think this will be really
useful because of the large number of _real_ (ie vt100) users
out there.... and your message is very timely!

Tim

Tim,
As you may know, Lynx 2.0 will have full WWW capabilities (or at least
those of the line mode browser). Lynx 2.0 is currently in Beta test but I
think it is about time for it to be added to the WWW software list that
you maintain. As a curses client I believe that Lynx has a lot to
offer to the WWW comunity.

There is a demo account set up for anonymous login if you would
like to try it out. Telnet to ukanaix.cc.ukans.edu and login as "www".

Anonymous FTP access to the source and binaries is at acs220.cc.ukans.edu.

Let me know what you want me to do to help get this set up.
