Sorry, but we don't have any plans to respin 2.x at this time.

I'm about to abandon 3.0 and go back to 2.x. Or look at Explorer. The memory footprint went up dramatically (Macintosh version at least), so that I can no longer have all my favorite apps open.

There is a windows console version of Lynx now. You won't see the dancing java ads, but will see your quotes. If you want fancy tables, I have an awk script which renders them. A few more stupid AWK tricks (cygnus.com has most GNU stuff ported), and you can type "getquote msft" and have the info without the ads appear. And if "lynx -source" is too big, I have a tiny URL to stdout program (which supports user/pass and SSL!). It is running now in a timed script that displays the quotes I want to a virtual console. Become an iconoclast, and crawl into a shell.

Has Lynx been ported to the Mac? You might want to just write your own. If your not intrested in all the N$ crap (frames, animated Gifs, cookies, ...) it is really quite easy code to write a few socket calls and parsing of some text. I wrote one over a weekend that handles 99% of my web browsing needs. I haven't looked at the Macs in a long time, when I did the hardware was not up to handling the GUI, does the current OS support a "text mode" or must everything be GUI? - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.

http://lynx.browser.org says there is a Mac version in Beta test right now. I'm currently using Opera v2.12 which uses alot less memory than Netscape, but I don't know how 'secure' it is. I'm download the win32 port of Linx right now to give it a try. Brian ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian C.
