So the main disadvantage is that > Emacs/w3 is slow. Very slow, to be sure.] I realize now that theese statements may seem a bit contradictory. I should add that in the former case I was talking about the CVS version of Emacs/W3 which I used until recently on my old work station and which indeed failed to render some pages (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu being my main source of grief -- or maybe url.el is to blame here?). The latest released version (which I use now) works o.k. AFAICS. Large pages can get even a new computer on its knees, though. :-( Oliver -- 14 Brumaire an 211 de la Révolution Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité!
