I cannot answer to that, but I do have another question on my present
Lynx (-cur) on Etch: I don't get any characters with accents ! They are
left out and then another character might get lost as well, for instance
on the bottom of google.com there is a copyright-sign and then '2006',
which results in '206'.

I did not investigate much myself yet, but maybe there is an easy
answer.

As a sidenote on Links2: I had not seen it yet in its -real- graphical
mode, with the -g switch. It's fun to run it on a console, it is
actually a graphical browser completely independent of X. ( I think. )
For me it is not an alternative for Lynx, but it could be a nice as a
viewer from within Lynx....

Thanks so far, // Jasper.
