Yes, it does seem rather big for for what is basically a text browser.
Despite its large size, 716,304 bytes for the main Lynx386 executable,
it deals with memory quite well. I use this browser very frequently to
access mainly textual information pages such as on-line FAQs, DOCs, news
stories, and weather reports. Also I use Lynx386 to access and use
on-line mail-order forms on https pages. Lynx386 never crashes on me.
I sure wish SSL would be incorporated into Arachne. In some countries
the use of the encryption algorithms are severely restricted by law. I
don't know if developers in the Czech Republic would be faced with having
to overcome legal obstacles if they wanted to write programs for SSL.
