DESCRIPTION
w3m is a World Wide Web (WWW) text based client. It has
English and Japanese help files and an option menu and can
be configured to use either language. It will display
hypertext markup language (HTML) documents containing
links to files residing on the local system, as well as
files residing on remote systems. It can display HTML
tables and frames. In addition, it can be used as a
"pager" in much the same manner as "more" or "less". Cur
rent versions of w3m run on Unix (Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX,
Linux, FreeBSD, and EWS4800) and on Microsoft Windows
9x/NT.
