thingy, right? I'm pretty sure that Lynx does 1 and 2 already, and can be easily hacked to do 3 (it has a mode that lets you run local code as a cgi, which means that Unix-domain sockets should only be a few lines of code away). Table support is still horrid, and frames are somewhat annoying (but they work -- you can navigate them, but you only see 1 frame at a time). -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/
