From the home page and user's guide: > Edbrowse is a combination editor, browser, and mail client that is 100% text based... The inspiration for this program came from Karl's many years of experience as a blind computer user. > You can edit a URL as easily as a local file, and activate browse mode to...discard most of the formatting information and retain the links and fill-out forms. This allows blind users to access the Internet through an application that is compatible with the linear nature of speech or braille. > 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.
