I could never figure netrix out. i much prefer the glinks.uci.

which is faster dillo or glinks, any idea?

Posted by kerry on July 26 2006,09:36

There pretty close, but glinks has java support. glinks also takes getting use to, while dillo is really simple. i'm more of a dillo person but i have used glinks(a.k.a links2) equally as much. i just like how simple they both are so you can surf with out distractions.

Move the cursor to the input field (looks like an underline) and press enter. Your page will be replaced by a "value:" prompt. Type your query, and press enter. Then press enter again to send the query. This is a bit unusual, but i think it's necessary because netrik seems to display as a typical pager, instead of having interactive sections on the page. I think it needs to recalulate and redraw the page to include your query.

I doubt it, considering the lack of cookie support, and because http mail is typically much more than plain html.
I haven't tried it, though...it might be worth a test.

Yes. It would be just a pager otherwise. The netrik distribution contains help files. If you're interested in learning more, download it from < http://netrik.sourceforge.net/ >
