Links-ssl would not display any images for me.  Links plain did images.
Lynx does ssl and images.  I think lynx-ssl still takes up no more room 
than a combination of links-ssl and links-0.90 and it is quicker to use 
one browser than a combination of two.

It would not have been much bother except that I could not download linux 
files with BL3, and 90% of our floppy disks won't work with linux, tho 
they work with DOS.
