I have not tried it in years and, honestly, I am not sure if it is even
available for *nix anymore.  I used to use it on OS/2 Warp 4 because most
other browers that'd work with that OS were no longer kept up to date.

There was finally an update where the latest version quit working on my
machine... it had severe display issues... so I had to quit updating it.
IIRC, it may have had a dependency that I couldn't install on that machine.
But it was a fair browser for that time period and, like you say, being
able to do more than browse was handy!
