I dunno that it matters. It looks like abandonware. I really liked it,
but since I moved to where none of the isps will logon with dos any
more, I have wondered how many are left that will be able to browse with
dos anyway.
Never mind all the pages it couldnt load.

Is there an effort to port xwindows or some kind of API to dos so that
it could run the win 3/os2 versions of opera or mozilla? Maybe in on a
32bit drive?
