I haven't tried WebSpyder yet, but it's a modified version of Arachne
(which I've mentioned before). While it's true that Arachne doesn't
support a great many features, it's more than Mosaic or Chimera or Arena
or Amaya or GNUscape. I can't get Arachne to work with my TCP/IP stack
(it's WATTCP/Crynwr based, I have a vendor-supplied packet driver) but it
really does look good:

Also, QNX has this "1.44MB Web Challenge" where they put a stripped-down
copy of QNX (their POSIX-compliant microkernel UNIX), the Proton micro
GUI, the Voyager web browser (based on Spyglass Mosaic, I have yet to see
if it's as good as MSIE/Netscape), PPP stuff, plus a web _server_ on a
single floppy disk. You need a 386, VGA, and at least 6MB of RAM to use it
(the large RAM footprint is for a RAM disk).
