I have found the very small (under 1 meg I think), completely self contained
(no registry entries or common dll files) browser, OffbyOne to be quite a good
offline viewer of html files. It shows fonts, layout and graphics, and launches
and renders a lot faster that the `big' browsers such as IE, or firebird.

As a real web browser, offbyone can be slow displaying complex pages, but
not if the files on local. One clarification: use a full spec for the file to
display:

Oby1 file:///c:\programs\somefile.html

Hope this is useful.

Most web pages today use javascript, unfortunately, and that limits the use
of this browser a lot, as there is no javascript support in it.

Some of us quickly bypass those websites.

We also leave behind a message concerning the deficiency and lack of
basic browser compatibility. ;-)

Sometimes, it even -works- <g>!
