It reclaims google, altavista, +babelfish, dejanews, freshmeat, research index, slashdot and many others from +the false-prophet, pox-infested heathen lands of html-forms, placing these +wonders where they belong, deep in unix heartland, as god loving extensions to +the shell. + +Surfraw abstracts the browser away from input. Doing so lets it get on with what +it's good at. Browsing. Interpretation of linguistic forms is handed back to the +shell, which is what it, and human beings are good at. Combined with +netscape-remote or incremental text browsers, such as links +(http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mikulas/links/), w3m (http://www.w3m.org/), +and screen(1) a Surfraw liberateur is capable of navigating speeds that leave +GUI tainted idolaters agape with fear and wonder. +</longdescription> </pkgmetadata> |
