DESCRIPTION
links is a text mode WWW browser with ncurses interface, supporting
colors, correct table rendering, background download‐
ing, menu driven configuration interface and slim code.
Frames are supported. You can have different file formats associated with
external viewers. mailto: and telnet: are sup‐
ported via external clients.
