Yes, Links has a GUI mode.  It's actually really fast. :)

I guess I am old school in that way as I believe that my websites just are
for information and not pretty graphics.  Also, try looking at my websites
through your phone.  They're all designed to fit within a mobile browser's
window.

I don't have anything on my Cheepware site that I didn't write except for a
few utilities I released for friends via my filebone(s).

Let me see what I can do for you.  I think I am Facebook friends with
Tobias.  If not, I am friends with JoHo (the FrontDoor author) and I believe
he is still in contact with Tobias.  Tobais did generate me a FE key years
ago...I'd -LOVE- to use FE but it has a nasty bug in it concerning
Binkley-style outbounds that has never been fixed.  If I was running an
ARCmail-style mailer (a la FrontDoor), I'd be using FE in a heartbeat.

Remember that TG doesn't support *.MSG for netmail so you'll have to gate it
for utilities (I was a TG/2 beta tester; look for me in the docs as
"hausmaus").

 DL> Thanks & get better!

Thanks.  As soon as I get my surgery, I'll be a lot better. :)

Later,
Sean
