GUI. Lynx is a very fine non-GUI browser, but some things need a GUI. I agree about Chimera. Mosaic is all right - but tables are missing a problem. Grail is a little sluggish, and doesn't render the Python documentation properly (talk about ironic!). Emacs-w3 would be great, but I can't stand loosing my emacs while it loads and renders a page. I want my AWeb back! <mike On Fri, 8 Jan 1999, Ben Smithurst wrote: > Date: Fri, 8 Jan 1999 22:05:15 +0000 > From: Ben Smithurst <ben@scientia.demon.co.uk> > To: Mike Meyer <mwm@phone.net> > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: find/search a string in Netscape > > Mike Meyer wrote: > > > I'll agree with that.
