It's screen rendering looks very good with the one page I could only handle with netscape 4 yesterday. No kudos though for making tab-completion unsable by requiring file://`pwd`/file instead of just ./file. I'd also need to hammer it into using latin-1 instead of 7bit output. The docs are rather insubstantial - big question: how do I get the output into a file? If I wanted screen display, konqueror does that just fine. links <./file DON'T EVER DO THAT! links file://... >out sits there waiting forever for input. > http://www.softmaker.de/ > > Seemed to work quite well on a simple page. Interesting - didn't know there was another commercial word processor for Linux (the office version is "under development"). Though I don't object to purchasing commercial software (if it's good), spending $70/$80 on a word processor with the only interesting function of converting html to text doesn't appeal so much.
