Re: Green screen browser?

Hi Dennis -


Seems to me that eons ago, there was a green-screen browser (ala LYNX)
available for the (pre-iSeries) AS/400.  In fact, my cobwebs tell me that
it was included either as part of the standard OS distribution or as an
installable feature.  This may have been circa V2R3 or V3R1, when the
beginnings of TCP/IP were surfacing on the system.

Do any of you have that same recollection, and if so, can you tell what
became of it?

To my knowledge, IBM has never offered any kind of web browser for the AS/400.

Back in the late 1990s there was a discussion on this list about possibly
having a cooperative project to write one.  I don't believe it ever went
any further than discussion.
