Their website suggests that w3m is more of a pager than a web browser. Elvis (enhanced vi clone) is/was also a rudimentary text-mode web browser. I don't install w3m explicitly, only if it is pulled in by the ports system as a dependency. Maybe I will take the same approach regarding lynx? I intend to check a NetBSD installation with lynx to see if that misbehaves the same way regarding gratuitous, unwanted gzip compression of downloads. I haven't used links in some time; remember a build on FreeBSD took six hours, but that was with DirectFB on a computer with 256 MB RAM. I think I need to email dic...@invisible-island.net .
