Maybe I should ask for the source code from PB but the problem is that I lack time, my Linux programming skills are pretty anemic and I don't even know if I should use an emulator for testing, so I don't mess up my beloved reader (girl friend will skin me alive - I didn't quite get a green light from the Budget when I bought this  ). |
I've seen it mentioned in this forum that the "links" browser is provided (rather than "lynx"). "links" doesn't seem to be based on curses, so a one-off port might be easier to do. As far as testing goes, I'm not sure if the emulators support network-related tasks. However, uploading to the reader and testing there is pretty straightforward. You're not allowed to change anything in the main system area, so it's pretty hard to do any real damage no matter how hard you try.
