When I installed urlview on Slackware I was able to use it to run
Lynx (if X and/or Netscape wern't running) and ncftp for ftp downloads.
Doesn't the above .urlview only use Netscape?
I have noticed that on Debian I also only get Lynx & ncftp to run.
I world prefer the Slackware operation but have not yet had time to
check out the differences in Debian.
