MicroWeb

Screenshot

MicroWeb is a web browser for DOS! It is a 16-bit real mode application, designed to run on minimal hardware.

Minimum requirements

To run you will need:

  • Intel 8088 or compatible CPU
  • CGA compatible graphics card (EGA and VGA are backwards compatible)
  • A network interface (it is possible to use your machine's serial port with the EtherSLIP driver)
  • A mouse

Limitations

  • Text only (this may change in a later release)
  • HTTP only (no HTTPS support)
  • No CSS or Javascript
  • Very long pages may be truncated if there is not enough RAM available

Network setup

MicroWeb uses Michael Brutman's mTCP networking library for the network stack. You will need a DOS packet driver relevant to your network interface. You can read more about configuring DOS networking here

Build instructions

To build you will need the OpenWatcom 1.9 C++ compiler. Use OpenWatcom's wmake to build the makefile in the project/DOS folder
