Well, Calderaīs 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 havenīt 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
Polakīs 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
