Is there any graphical WEB broswers for SCO Unix that don't require
using X-Windows?

We have lynx which is ok for getting text, but it would be nice if
I had a Graphical WEB browser that worked while I was at the Unix
Console sometimes...

Platform is: SCO Unix 3.2v4.2

Since all the graphical stuff on X-Open Unix systems (of which SCO is
a one of a number of members and which includes just all about the
biggest names in the Unix field) runs under X11, call it Motif or what
you will, all the available browsers run under that system. X11
provides the whole infrastructure for the programming side of the
graphics; anyone producing graphics applications for the basic SCO
operating system without X11 would have to design and implement a
non-standard graphics programming interface - it would simply cost too
much, nobody would buy it (since X11 is an integral part of all of the
latest Unix releases) and it would probably be buggy as all that.
Considered upgrading your Unix release? At least the web browsers are
free ;-)
