A lot of people might think this is a joke, but the CERN Line Mode Browser is
still alive, all though it is not kicking as much as it could be ;-). Try
version 2.13, that you can get on (as source)
ftp://info.cern.ch:pub/www/src/WWWLineMode_2.13.tar.Z
This is running together with CERN WWWlib 2.15 (same site). It is very easy
and fast in non-interactive mode and should run on anything that possibly can
be called a computer. At the same time it has some nice features like
LaTex-conversion etc. See
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/LineMode/Defaults/QuickGuide.html
for more information
cheers
