LYNX-DEV Experimental table support via proxy

[Tom Zerucha]

If you have linux, and/or are brave, check out www.mich.com/~thomas/ftp
and get lxtab0.1.tar.gz - it contains my awk script, and a proxy
(including a precompiled version).

Simply do:

export http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:5000/";
./lxtab &

before going to

lynx www.lotsotables.com

It is still very alpha, but most of cnnfn and some other test sites work.

WARNING: you should set vertstacking to 1, and maybe the sides or have a
wide screen.  many tables are designed to nest wide.  My text mode is
160x100, so I can display everything so far - but I would strongly
recommend a 132 character wide mode.

You should also have settings to give a tag for each image (the * key) -
the awk script has to guess at the final rendered version.

You can also comment out the line following ASCII boxes if you can handle
the PC8 graphics characters.
