W3M under DJGPP

[Ken Yap <ken@nlc.net.au>]

Terry Dawson mentioned W3M on the computerbank list a couple of weeks ago.
W3m is a text mode Web browser like Lynx but does tables and frames. I
went into hack mode and ported it to DJGPP (gcc based environment that
generates protected mode programs that are started from DOS).  You can
get a snapshot from http://members.xoom.com/ken_yap search down the page
for W3M.

The binary is 230KB, so it is feasible to put FreeDOS, a packet driver,
cwsdpmi.exe and w3m.exe all on one floppy and turn a 386+ 8MB machine
with a NIC into a Web browser. Or to load it on a diskless machine.

Please have a play with it and send feedback. I don't guarantee every
feature will work though.
