Erm, click on the "Downloads" link and read the first sentence, which tells
you pretty much what you're looking for (binary archives). Is that so hard?
Ultimately, our site is set up primarily for people who want to get at the
source code and add features, not quite so much for the curious onlooker.
You're more than welcome to have a look, try things and join in with the
forums, wiki and bug tracker. Just don't expect any shrink-wrapped and
tested products to download because we're not yet in a position to offer
that.
Finally, if you find something hard to understand or you learn something
which you think would be of benefit to others, don't keep it to yourself -
tell us by adding your comments to our site.

Absolutely! These are components spanning the whole OS, from the lowest
levels up to the applications. You cannot just double-click some of them and
expect them to work as they need special measures to integrate them into
your boot sequence.
Also, they should be treated as beta quality code because we don't have the
facilities to test them against lots of hardware and OS combinations in the
way that you'd expect a commercial organisation who are selling you a
product to do.

I run Browse and Phoenix on an IYONIX all the time without problems. The URL
fetcher in our ROOL release is currently 0.55. Make a note of the problems
you encounter and put something on our site (e.g. in the forums) and we or
someone else out there may be able to help.
