However there is a drawback. In case necessary following the guide on a document, either I have to save it on the server first and start the server reading it OR to run a workstation side by side reading the document. In the former case, if the document is in .html or .pdf format I still need a web browser and X. I can print them as .ps files but the resultant documents are not easy to read. I ran several text broswers before such as elinks, etc. It is not easy to natvigate. Besides the website will complain requesting me to ran a browser with java enabled, etc. So finally I was compelled to install a web browser. B.R. Stephen
