Just what do you mean by "DOS 4"??
Arachne is the main DOS based graphical browser
Braccae tuae aperiuntur

Hi jboy,
OK, I give up. What's ' Braccae tuae aperiuntur'?
My first though about a DOS browser was Netscape 3.x but IIRR, it's java-challenged.
FWIW, I've only known two people who used DOS 4. One was smart enough to make it 'work' and the other was so far out to lunch he was almost back from lunch.

Almost invariably 'DOS 4' turns out to be the Windows version. I understand that the "real" MS-DOS v4 from around 1990 was probably the buggiest ever - and accordingly, pretty unpopular.
I don't use Arachne much - mainly offline on older machines, but likely the best bet.

jboy,
No shortage of goodlinx in your neck of the woods.
Fun Latin reminds me of something that went round the email circuit a few years back.
Change ONE letter of a familiar foreign phrase and give the new meaning.
One of my favs:
ex post fUcto
'lost in the mail'

Well... I've been seeing a lot of Latin and pseudo-Latin in so many sigs lately - just having a bit o' fun ; )
It was that or else Me transmitte sursum, Caledoni!
