    I just built it and gave it a quick test. Thanks for the tip.
    It's only been recently that I've taken an interest in seeking out
    lightweight software. (The inspiration for me is that I'm
    thinking of replacing an old worm-infested win95 OS on a friend of
    mine's P-200 32MB system. He's not computer literate, but all he
    does is e-mail and web, and I think maybe I can make it easy
    enough for him.)

    It does seem, however, that both 'links -g' and 'dillo' handle at
    least Google 'groups' frames in the same manner...at least the
    versions that I'm running. As I said, I actually kind of like
    this. It provides more horizontal space for the listings. Lot of
    times frames seem to be mainly a place for people to try to sell
    you junk anyway :) Links also seems to handle tables differently
    (or the one at the top of my home page is illegal to it or
    something.)

    Thanks,

     - Tom
