w3m does. links does not. i tend to use w3m for viewing local html files, and links for actual web browsing, since links does render-while-downloading, etc which makes it feel a little nicer over a slow link. i got freaked out by w3m displaying an image in my xterm just a few days ago. since when/how does an xterm display an image? there's also w3, which can be textual or graphical, depending on what options you have turned on. w3 is the emacs web browser, of course ;) having said that, i've started using w3m-el, since i've found w3 to be a little slow on my machine. (i wish some of the "popular" web browser groups would have a look at w3 and steal some ideas out of it tho) -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
