Mind giving me a clue as to how one does that? Do you need to re-compile? I don't really know what stripped/un-stripped means. $ file `which dillo` /usr/local/bin/dillo: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped Okay. I did the obvious and was surprised to find that there is actually a man strip :-) DESCRIPTION GNU strip discards all symbols from object files objfile. The list of object files may include archives. At least one object file must be given. So how do I find that 'one object file' to give? Or does the -s option get around that need? Any important reasons why I _shouldn't_ strip Dillo? Winter _is_ coming...(sorry). Thanks, Patrick, Tom

If I were to guess, they're probably using HTML for the background and CSS for the text, or possibly doing something nonstandard like putting <font color="white"> at the beginning of the page instead of inside each block element. So the site is either badly designed (relying on two separate technologies instead of one for something as critical as readability) or badly coded (using code that happened to work in Netscape 2 and IE, but fails in a stricter rendering engine). -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

That's what I've been doing, and it isn't a problem. I just wondered if there was some configuration choice that would easily fix the 'problem'. It sure isn't something the authors should waste any time with, in my estimation. While we're chatting, Jeremy, just why is dillo as large as it is? (I realize that it is less than 1/10 the size of most browsers) I have 1.3M for the executable here. What is it about the current state of the Web (HTML and/or servers) that necessitates this size? W3m is only .7K and does a great job as a textmode browser. Why so much more just to display static images? Big thanks to Jorge and the gang. Great browser. Tom

I assume they use some standard trick that dillo doesn't support. I just switch to links to read such sites, and if that doesn't work I give up. I've never found such a site that I cared enough about to bother working out exactly what is going on. So I can't help much more I'm afraid. Cheers, Jeremy Henty
