IBM (bless their cotton socks) have been working on a DOS based Web Browser codenamed WebBoy. In essence, this browser will supply HTML3.2 compatibility (what that means to you is that it can handle tables, animated Gifs, frames and font tags)and e-mail. To make things better, it uses the same GUI that was used to write PersonaWare, meaning that when integrated into your PersonaWare menu, you will be able to access the net from one user interface.

Before you ask me "Where can I get WebBoy" let me tell you that finding any information about WebBoy has been really difficult.

Everything is in Japanese and nobody in the English speaking world seem to know a thing. WebBoy has been written to be portable, so expect ports to other (non DOS) operating systems in the future.

Okay, so where can you buy Webboy. Try here.
