Actually, there is lynx for MPE/ix 5.0! But I don't mind the press
releases or product announcements as long as they stay limited to HP3000
software and hardware. However, I *do* want to encourage vendors to use
Web servers to provide this kind of stuff regularly. It is a lot of work
to research different products and get technical information in order to
make informed decisions about products - putting stuff on the Web is
a great way to make information available, although I understand that
there is a large challenge to be met in document management before this
will be routine.
