Sindi,

thank you very much for help and hints.

 

I have bl3 on a 486 with 12 Mb RAM and bl2 a pentium S with 32 Mb Ram.

 

On bl3 I have links-0.95 (no ssl) and Lynx (with ssl) from your site.

With Lynx I can access gmail and that is ok. On that machine I do not need to have more.

I would like, if possible, to install links-0.98 or links-0.95  (with ssl) because I find links fast and ease to use but reading the thread I see the matter is puzzling for me.

The executable for links-0.98 Steven suggested does not work (i.e. I am not able to get it work).

A version of links-0.98 with ssl could be a useful add on for bl2 and bl3......

Sorry, I installed links-0.98 on the other machine on bl2 and then I uniinstalled (pkgtool).

On this machine (32 Mb Ram, 64 Ram swap and bl2 ) I will install your links2 with ssl.

 

Anyway I think that your future Elinks package would be the best choice for a text browser with ssl (and java?).

 

Thank you very much again.

Regards,

 

Giuseppe
