Rod,
	I'm really very sorry to have to say this, really made quite sad,
but no - they will not. I've been told by Rhodes Hileman <rhodes at scn.org)>
that this thread, presumably the discussion(s) on it are inappropriate for
the Operations mailing list <hardware at scn.org>. I was told by Gianni
Truzzi <gtruzzi at scn.org>, president of the Board Of Directors, that it was
an inappropriate issue for the Board's mailing list and should be brought
to Operations. No one seems willing to acknowledge the fact that SCN is
offering outdated, substandard software options for our users. Acceptance
of that reality would be a first step toward effecting change. But having
been rebuffed by both the Board and Operations, who do I turn to? Will
anyone take responsibility?

2¢ Andrew,

2¢    The latest Unix version of w3m is newer than the one I tried
2¢ today, and the source code for it is now in

2¢    Supposedly it can run on SunOS 4.1.x, which means that it
2¢ could be installed for general use on the login machine. Ask the
2¢ techies at hardware at scn.org. They'll help you. Seriously, they
2¢ will. I have to go do some English Major stuff now. Let me know
2¢ how it turns out.
