Message-ID: <E13EZRk-000ElS-0V@anchor-post-31.mail.demon.net> (raw)

If anyone is nostalgic for mothra itself, I've just about finished
adapting it (and the panel library, which I needed for my teletext
browser) to the 3rd edition graphics model.  Mothra may only be able
to cope with a small subset of today's websites, but for that subset
it's quick and effective. (I've borrowed from lynx the idea of displaying
frames as a list of links, so that framed sites can be navigated
without having to lay them out fully.)  Because it ignores what it
doesn't understand, mothra can often glean some useful content from a
page where charon tries too hard and just draws a blank.  And using
mothra I don't have to worry about malicious scripts and cookies ...

Anyone with a 2nd edition license can get a boddle from me.
