SlipKnot

SlipKnot -- SlipKnot is a panacea for frustrated dial-up UNIX account users without access to TIA. It can run off a standard UNIX account without the use of SLIP, PPP, or even Winsock. This is not the best browser for users of SLIP or those with direct connections, but it does satisfy the needs of many users without access to either of these protocols. Up to ten separate documents can be loaded at a time. Features missing relative to other browsers include transparent gifs, newsreading, Netscape 2.0 extensions, Internet Explorer extensions, client side image mapping support, and tables. New features for SlipKnot include support for Freenets and BBS's, a 'Get All Links' command (which will automatically fetch links from any page you choose like Mosaic's Autosurf command), low memory safeguard protection, save as text command, 'text first' display, inline jpeg support, autmatic Zmodem detection, and support for automatic page redirects, centering, and mailto tags. Pros: Web browser that doesn't require SLIP, PPP, or Winsock Cons: Lacks support for tables and other critical features New: 'Get All Links' command; support for automatic page redirects, centering, and mailto tags Version Reviewed: 1.50 Date of Review: 3/5/96 Reviewer: Forrest Stroud apps conference Main Menu
