I am fighting a losing battle with the docs people at SCO.  They're
designing the documentation for the next major release with bazillions
of frames, JavaScript everywhere, tables, frames, more frames, and did I
mention frames?

All this to obfuscate what started out as perfectly good text
documentation.

Anyway, they're using lots of JavaScript for lots of non-graphical
purposes.  The new doc set would therefore be marginally less unreadable
[now there's a worthwhile goal...] if Lynx supported JavaScript.
