Ebrowse?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Didier Spaier here,

Wait! Actually its possible to build edbrowse on Slint,
as Jude DaShiell did it. I jut remembered an email he 
sent me about that, that I forward below.

For issues specific to Slint you could put the Slint
mailing list in CC, if not yet registered:
http://slint.fr/mailman/listinfo/slint_slint.fr 

PS Please write your name in the message when posing
in blinux list, as it hides the name of the senders.

Didier
