- Why not use "www -source" ?
-
- You say, in print-www, that:
-
- # It is intended to
- # be used from the Viola WWW browser but might he useful
- # elsewhere too
-
- Of course it's great from the line mode browser too, in which you can say
-
- source | print-www
-
- or just
- setenv WWW_PRINT_COMMAND "print-www '%s' | lpr"
-
- beforehand, and say PRINT in www.
-
-
- Thanks for a cleaning up the .sed file, and doing the thing properly.
