MicroWeb DOS web browser

   [113]Screenshot

   MicroWeb is a web browser for DOS! It is a 16-bit real mode
   application, designed to run on minimal hardware.

Minimum requirements

   To run you will need:
     * Intel 8088 or compatible CPU
     * CGA, EGA, VGA or Hercules compatible graphics card
     * A network interface (it is possible to use your machine's serial
       port with the EtherSLIP driver)
     * A mouse is desirable but not 100% required
     * 640k RAM is desirable. EMS/XMS are not required

Limitations

     * Text only (this may change in a later release)
     * HTTP only (no HTTPS support)
     * No CSS or Javascript
     * Very long pages may be truncated if there is not enough RAM
       available
     * Mouse cursor is currently not visible in Hercules mode

Keyboard shortcuts

     * Escape : Exit
     * F2 : Invert screen (useful for LCD displays)
     * F6 / Ctrl+L : Select address bar
     * Tab / Shift+Tab : Cycle through selectable page elements
     * Enter : Follow link / press button
     * Backspace : Back in history

   The page position can be scrolled with cursor keys, Page up, Page down,
   Home and End

Command line options

   You can use a URL as an argument to load a specific page on startup.
   This can also be a path to a local html file.

   MicroWeb will try to automatically choose the most appropriate display
   mode on startup, but it is possible to manually select a video mode by
   using a command line switch
   Option                              Effect
   -c     Force to run in 640x200 CGA mode
   -h     Force to run in 720x348 Hercules mode
   -e     Force to run in 640x350 EGA mode
   -v     Force to run in 640x480 VGA mode
   -i     Start with inverted screen colours (useful for some LCD monitors)

   For example MICROWEB -c http://68k.news will start in CGA 640x200 mode
   and load the 68k.news website

HTTPS limitations

   Unfortunately older machines just don't have the processing power to
   handle HTTPS but there are a few options available:
     * Browse sites that still allow HTTP
     * Use a proxy server such as [114]retro-proxy which converts HTTPS to
       HTTP. You can configure a proxy server by setting the HTTP_PROXY
       environment variable before running MicroWeb. e.g. SET
       HTTP_PROXY=192.168.0.50:8000
     * Use the [115]FrogFind! web service to view a stripped down version
       of a site. If MicroWeb is redirected to an HTTPS site then it will
       generate a FrogFind link for your convenience.

Getting started

   Check out the [116]releases page which will include a pre-built binary.
   Also available are FreeDOS boot disk images for 360K and 720K floppies,
   which are configured to work with a NE2000 network adapter. These boot
   images can be used in an emulator such as [117]PCem.

Network setup

   MicroWeb uses Michael Brutman's [118]mTCP networking library for the
   network stack. You will need a DOS packet driver relevant to your
   network interface. You can read more about configuring DOS networking
   [119]here

Build instructions

   To build you will need the [120]OpenWatcom 1.9 C++ compiler. Use
   OpenWatcom's wmake to build the makefile in the project/DOS folder
