Thanks for your input to nail down how to download the necessary
file. After reading and trying all the e-mail, finally I have made
it.
So, it is another browser. Can you kindly tell us how does this help
us compared to the conventional ones (IE or Netscape)?
Oun.

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%7Esleipnir%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.zipAnbody
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.

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.
