w3m

[Toby A Inkster]

I just have to ask: WHAT KIND OF FREAKY VOODOO HEX HAS THIS THING PUT ON
MY TERMINAL WINDOW?!

http://www.goddamn.co.uk/tobyink/scratch/w3m

For those who aren't aware, that is a terminal window with the w3m
browser running inside. Terminal windows are not supposed to be *capable*
of displaying images. The ability to use different font colours is
considered novel.

How? How?! HOW?!?!

I know I won't be able to get to sleep tonight.

Anyway, for those of you with *nix boxes, I order you to download and
install w3m this minute! For those without, well it does run on Windows
though I doubt it's capable of performing such black magic in a DOS window.

Coloured fonts are really nice in a terminal window. I especially like the
little green "pass" labels when re/starting daemons.

I don't know

Me neither. My Konsole isn't supposed to have animated banner ads in it

Don't know if it's documented, but in the source code there's an
'image.c' file whose purpose is to /* display image */, and with
functions like openImgdisplay().

Incidentally, I like the look of that resource monitor on your desktop,
what is the program called?

I was gonna say that. It's very pretty isn't it. Almost makes me want
to give linux another go :O|

Is this any different from xmlterm?

The magic of PNG-8. PNG-24 is nice for some things, but a screen shot
should *not* be 283KB!

Very different. XMLterm is a normal X application, so expected to be able
to draw graphics. w3m is a command-line program, running inside an aterm.
