Well, Caldera´s DR-WebSpyder 2.1 (which was based on a DPMI port of
Arachne) was just what you were looking for... Lineo renamed it to
EmBrowser, but as far as I know, it is no longer under development...

If you haven´t tried yet, I suggest to search the web for a copy of
DR-WebSpyder 2.1 Beta 2 (the latest offical version), or try Michal
Polak´s Arachne (which does not look as fancy, does not support
JavaScript and runs in DOS Real Mode instead of Protected Mode,
but meanwhile provides many features DR-WebSpyder never did.

Greetings,
 
 Matthias
