>Dear Listers,
>
>As a school project, I am looking to develop a java based text browser,
>similar to Lynx, that could be used on any java enabled box - eg. UNIX,
>Win95, WinNT, Mac etc.
>
>My major questions are:
>
>1. Is there still a need for a text based browser - am I wasting my time ?
>
>2. What are the "must haves" in a text based browser ?
>
>3. What is missing in say Lynx, that would be realy useful (eg. PDF
support) ?
>
>4. Any other comments.
>
>Thanks in advance for any assistance...
