  That is the one I have installed.

  The same here, but because I have set some configuration parameters
with Links.2.1.9. , I find Links-0.93 doesn't like that at all and
gives line after line of ..not understood..  so I don't use Links-0.93
anymore, and I have removed all mention of it from .profile

   Yep, I was writing quickly and from (poor) memory. I have actually
installed xsvga.tgz as well as xset.tgz and tried to configure it. The
graphic mode was so slow and clumsy, and I was not able to set anything,
and I ended up re-installing xvga16.tgz because I even failed to startx
- Xserver not found !

  Next experiment will be svgalib.tgz.

  But at 33 MHz, even a setup takes a long time.  It is actually much
quicker to run Arachne, in DOS, with full graphics.

Regards,
        Ron

Hi Folks,

  I now have Links2 running from the CLI with inline graphics.

  It took svgalib.tgz to do it, and it is bloody slow, but it works.

  Running the same in X under Icewm is just too painful - the screen is
painted one character at a time and the mouse is unusable - so graphical
Links will only be run from the CLI, and only when the graphics are
absolutely necessary, at least on this 33 MHz machine.

  I look forward to the time I can install this stuff on something a bit
faster.    :)


Regards,
        Ron

I have already installed svgalib - what else do you need to do in order to
run links 2.1.9 in console mode with inline graphics, other than type
links -g ?  I would much rather not need to use X (apart from being
slower, it does not like my keyboard).  

Thanks for the info - I did not know this was even possible.
