Your remark does not bring new information. By "please elaborate", I was inviting my correspondent to provide some facts on which an opinion could be based, that is, more than the re-statement of an intuition or emotion... Do you have some URL, pointer, flaw description, that could be verified? `w3m' seems really speedy, and does reasonable work for tables, and at least a little something for frames, so I would not like giving it up. Let's see the real nature of the danger, and if there is anything serious, if `w3m' could be salvaged -- it is most probably worth some effort! :-) -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
