+w3m is a World Wide Web (WWW) text based client. It has English and
+Japanese help files and an option menu and can be configured to use
+either language. It will display hypertext markup language (HTML)
+documents containing links to files residing on the local system, as
+well as files residing on remote systems. It can display HTML tables,
+frames, and images, and supports tabbed browsing. In addition,
+it can be used as a "pager" in much the same manner as "more" or
+"less". Current versions of w3m run on Unix (Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX,
+Linux, FreeBSD, and EWS4800) and on Microsoft Windows 9x/NT.
+
+You will need the gc package (which is available from SlackBuilds.org),
+to compile this.
+
+NOTE: Don't bother trying to run w3m inside a screen session;
+ it will segfault.
