there's something called DosLynx which is a 16-bit port using Eric
Engelke's WATTCP library. Although if you want a text-based browser for
DOS, there's one that can do INLINE graphics under DOS if you have a
supported VGA (mostly VESA-compliant) card. If all you want to do is
preview documents, you could get the CERN www library, figure out how to
use it, and compile it with DJGPP!
