Edbrowse is a combination editor, browser, and mail client that is 100%
text based. The interface is similar to /bin/ed, though there are many
more features, such as editing multiple files simultaneously, and rendering
html. This program was originally written for blind users, but many
sighted users have taken advantage of the unique scripting capabilities of
this program, which can be found nowhere else. A batch job, or cron job,
can access web pages on the internet, submit forms, and send email, with no
human intervention whatsoever. edbrowse can also tap into databases
through odbc. It was primarily written by Karl Dahlke.
