RE: A superb browser

["Myron Gochnauer" <goch>]

Hi friends,

After the original mention of the "superb browser" (called Sleipnir), I
followed the link and ended up in the home site, which is Japanese.
However, there were enough English letters and words for me to guess how to
get to the download page.

Here's a URL that will give you the English download:

http://www.excite.co.jp/world/url/body?wb_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww20.pos.to%2F%7
Esleipnir%2F&wb_lp=JAEN&wb_dis=2

Don't click on the "Download" button. Scroll down the page and you'll find a
list of the different-language versions of Sleipnir, including English.
Here is the actual English download URL:

http://www20.pos.to/~sleipnir/cgi-bin/dl/dlcount.cgi?engver_fb.zip

Anbody know how to pronounce "Sleipnir", or what language it is?  Is it a
German-style "ei"?

Sleipnir *does* seem to work nicely, although I haven't really pushed it
yet.

Myron

OT means "off-topic" -- i.e., a topic not directly related to Nota Bene,
Ibidem, Orbis, Lingua or their use.

I think it's a Japanese site.  You might write Jannik (the original message
sender) directly and see if he can answer your questions about the browser
and/or the site.
