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