SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
w3m is a World Wide Web (WWW) text based client. It has English and
Japanese help files and an option menu and can be configured to use
either language. It will display hypertext markup language (HTML)
documents containing links to files residing on the local system, as

and frames. In addition, it can be used as a "pager" in much the same
manner as "more" or "less". Current versions of w3m run on Unix
(Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX, Linux, FreeBSD, and EWS4800) and on Microsoft
Windows 9x/NT.
