ABACO(1)

NAME

abaco, readweb − browse the World-Wide Web

SYNOPSIS

­abaco [ ­-p ] [ ­-c ­ncols ] [ ­-m ­mtpt ] [ ­-t ­charset ] [ ­url ]

­readweb [ ­url ]

DESCRIPTION

­Abaco is a lightweight web browser with the appearance of acme(1) with ­ncols columns (one by default).  Given a url, it will start by displaying that page. Clicking mouse button 3 on a link opens it in a new ­abaco window.  ­-t selects an alternate character set; ­-m an alternate mount point for webfs. Normally the standard error of subshells is closed, but ­-p prevents this. 

­Readweb imports the outside network, if necessary, starts ­webfs and ­webcookies and finally abaco.
