Mutters,
Thanks for pointing out these alternatives for lynx. I just compiled
w3m on FreeBSD and Linux without any problems and it works VERY nice for
tables. Almost all the HTML I receive is in table format because they
are WWW reports. They look great now.
I am off to try links now since this was also suggested.
