w3m: WWW wo Miru Tool version 0.2.3.1 (C) Copyright by Akinori ITO December 20, 2001 1. Introduction w3m is a pager with WWW capability. It IS a pager, but it can be used as a text-mode WWW browser. The features of w3m are as follows: * When reading HTML document, you can follow links and view images (using external image viewer). * It has 'internet message mode', which determines the type of document from header. If the Content-Type: field of the document is text/html, that document is displayed as HTML document. * You can change URL description like 'http://hogege.net' in plain text into link to that URL. Current problems are: * It can't show images inline. (See w3m-img info on the w3m homepage) * It doesn't decode MIME-body of the document. * Online manuals are poor. w3m is known to work on these platforms.

(Default: cc) cc -Aa -D_HPUX_SOURCE If you use just 'cc' without options, you can't compile w3m. If you are using gcc, no option is needed. OS/2 You can compile w3m using emx. First you have to do is to compile GC library with cd gc make -f EMX_MAKEFILE then compile w3m. I heard that OS/2 console can't display color, you had better compile w3m without color capability.
