Lynx. The one true browser.

Hi.

I have discovered a really cool feature of the latest versions of lynx
(possibly a beta). if you go "lynx -traversal url", it will go to
the url and procede to visit every link on the page, and every link on that
page, etc... It generates a list of links it has seen, a list of urls it has
visited (complete with title), a list of links that didn't work. If you also
pass a -crawl flag to it, it will store the output of the page (processed
from HTML into human readable form) with the url and the title of the page
on the first and second lines respectively.

Long Live Lynx!

Ian
