Chanh,

Again, this begs the question. I am aware of a number of programs
available only to shell users in "beta" testing. As I recall Pine almost
had to go into Omega testing before the average user was allowed to touch
it. Please don't tell me what is available for shell users. Apply the
PATCH for Lynx 2.7.2 SSL for Jane and John Doh! who are not getting
through to sites that are within their reach, even with the _limited_ set
of tools available to them on SCN.

I have sent my correspondence on this issue out on three lists; hardware,
scna-board and scn. The replies have been directed to two lists excluding
scn, the only general and open one. What anti-democratic impulse is at
work here, I wonder?

Apply the patch, please.
