I urge you to reconsider. One sources > for things should be enough. I agree with Dave. The browser is disgusting. It looks ugly on the outside, and it's even uglier on the inside, in many ways. About the only thing it has going for it is it can display web pages better than mothra. If the people here clean it up and make it look and behave like a Plan 9 program, then great. But until then, no. Russ P.S. Next you're going to complain that there are things in /extra that don't look and behave much like Plan 9 programs, but Links is much further removed from those.
