lynx-dev The Dead Code Report

[John Bley]

Well, here's the report.  There might be errors, caution should be used 
in interpreting results.  However, there is clear evidence that there is 
a lot of dead code in lynx.  Whether it should be left in, commented out, 
or removed depends on a variety of factors, including age of code, 
chance of use, and documentation-archeology needs.  This is only the 
obviously dead code, much more probably exists.  I invite comments on 
where these methods came from/are going, and what (if anything) should be 
done with them.

REPORT: Methods that are never called, so far as I can figure:

(The right-hand column indicates what the code is wrapped in, if 
anything - #if or /* for conditional compilation or commented-out.  () 
means that at first glance it appears to be "active" code.)
