  'D' mentions leafnode, so I assume he's looking for something for
Unix/Linux.

  Having said that, for Windows, there's Hamster [1], which, as you can
tell from my 'User-Agent:' header, I'm happily using for some 22 years,
all the way from Windows XP to Windows 11.

  But according to my notes, 'D' is well aware of Hamster.
