Thanks, I knew that you would be on the 'case' quickly :-)
I will download the new version soon.

Don't worry about Lynx too much. Your browser will inevitably be
different and have its own feature set.
If it runs on all QL's - at present QDOS and not SMSQ - and is easy to
install and use, then you are on to a winner in having a body of users.

I think they made some hardware ? Not sure what though ...

That's OK ... a big thanks to you for writing it and making it
available.
I hope everyone on this list will try it, and help drive the usability
of the QL into the 'web era' that bit more forward ...
I was experimenting with Jon Dent's soql TCP software last night, under
QPC2 v2. Everything is operating as expected, yet I haven't figured out
how to address the PC's internal modem yet.
