Martin,
Yes, that is the text, and I'd estimate that what you posted is about 1/7 of
the total article text. Obviously LYNX does somehow access the embedded
text that lies behind the graphic and allows Zinio Reader users to search
the article for key words. This is a good find! Obviously it is time for
me to research LYNX. I would like to try it with W7 64 bit. The website
says it will work with Vista 64 bit. Probably should try with Ubuntu also.
Thanks,
Pat

This is interesting. I tried it with lynx as in L Y N X and I appear
to be able to read it. It seems to be a short discussion of SWR followed by
a solicitation to subscribe. How long is the article you see in the Zinio
viewer?
Here is part of what I read:

found an interesting tutorial covering many aspects of amateur radio:

This is as much as I should probably copy to the list, but does this
look like the text of the article?
lynx is about as basic of a browser as there is. It is free and part
of many unix distributions. It is totally incapable of doing javascript or
flash so I am shocked that it appears to work on the link you provided.
