DESCRIPTION

14       w3m is a World Wide Web (WWW) text based client. It has English and Ja‐
15       panese help files and an option menu  and  can  be  configured  to  use
16       either language. It will display hypertext markup language (HTML) docu‐
17       ments containing links to files residing on the local system,  as  well
18       as  files  residing  on  remote systems. It can display HTML tables and
19       frames.  In addition, it can be used as a "pager" in much the same man‐
20       ner as "more" or "less".  Current versions of w3m run on Unix (Solaris,
21       SunOS, HP-UX, Linux, FreeBSD, and EWS4800)  and  on  Microsoft  Windows
22       9x/NT.
