We don't use VTs anymore, and for good reason. So lets stop using so many VT emulators(!) and stop writing applications for a piece of hardware that is now a novelty when you see one in a skip. Anyway, bloat aside, Mozilla is available for multiple platforms, so the designers have clearly been able to separate platform dependent issues from the browser itself. A port of mozilla may be an easier (don't read `easy') way of getting a modern graphical browser running natively on plan 9. ian
