(Text browser as Lynx for OS/2 Warp)

Hi Gang.
I just tested here on my Warp 4 FP6 Links, the most little (and most efficient) text browser currently available in the world. If you are seeking for a text browser like the famous Lynx, but without all hermethism and complicated configurations, Links is for you! This fine release by Mikulas Patocka is the most simple, reliable, efficient and fastly browser that I saw in all time! How to use Links: simply download it and put it in anyone directory (I put it in a directory called Links). Click it and it is all! No configurations are needed, no experience are requested (but note that EMX is required). Surfing the Net with Links you can load pages like Hobbes very fast! Yesterday I needed access Hobbes in order to download a zipfile for test it. When I tried load Hobbes with my Netscape 4.61 I saw that its simply impossible because the Net is supercharged. But I was needing urgently the zipfile. Well, I have some FTP (and all very good!) here, but also the FTP performance is slow when the Net is supercharged. I tested Links and I have a big surprise: Links immediately loaded the Hobbes, I accessed the /incoming ad download the file quickly!!! In the photo below you can see Links examining Hobbes:

Links is a free text based WWW browser that is both very fast and very small (386.5KB). Unlike other OS/2 text based browsers, Links handles tables and is extremely configurable including cache and character set settings. In the photo above you can see the Links keys. If you are a Linux user this kind of browser is familiar for you because Lynx is a standard feature in Linux and use it is really simply. But you are an OS/2 user certainly you are scared if you are tried unsuccessfully surf the Net using Lynx for OS/2, because the configuration its not simple and the correct parameters must be setted in the config sys like this:

SET SHELL=c:/bin/bash.exe
SET SYSTEMNAME=macarlo
SET HOME=c:\home
SET TMP=c:\tmp
SET TMPDIR=c:\tmp
SET TERMINFO=c:\lynx2\terminfo
REM SET TERM=ansi
REM SET WWW_HOME=file://localhost/c:/lynx2/docs/readme.html
SET LYNX_CFG=c:\lynx2\lynx.cfg

Note that Links supresses all complications and any configuration is needed!
