1. Offline Web Browser

How hard would it be (on a scale of 1 to 10) to write an offline browser? I
would like one that requires no TCP/IP connection, but can parse and display
pages compliant with HTML2.0/3.0.

Joseph,
  That really depends on the type of programmer you are.   A parser is
really not that hard.   the hard part come in with graphics/music/animation

writing the functions for handling animated Gifs.   though put of Midi
the Netscape extensions and IE extensions.  that's where it's gooding to
be fun.

It sounds like a REALLY good project!   it would be great to have a full
blown OL-HTML reader.

on a scale from 1 to 10..  Hum...  I'd rate it about a 7..

  Joseph,
If you can do with out the images, then this one worked for me:
http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/

Directory simtelnet/msdos/html/
viewht14.zip  B   24364  970106  Viewhtml v1.4: Quickie HTML viewer & converter
or:
knot1_3e.zip  B  106013  961004  DOS graphical HTML browser for web authors

Win 3.1 thing:
Directory simtelnet/win3/inet/
slnot150.zip  B 1532481  960308  SlipKnot 1.50: WWW graphical browser w/o SLIP

You might also want to take a look at the descriptions of the other files
in these directories, 00index.txt I think it's called.
  Regards, Einar Sandoz.
