Ah, thanks! Including Tim BL's review of Erwise:

https://www.w3.org/History/19921103-hypertext/hypertext/Erwise/Review.html

"Conclusion: Erwise is certainly a well-finished browser for
 W3 systems, proffesionally produced. We only have binaries
 at the moment for sun4 and decstation use, and there seem
 to be a few outstanding problems with running on on some
 displays (like decstation). Its is a very good job, especially
 for a group starting completely from scratch with motif. Once
 the problems with crashes on different displays are solved,
 the next thing to decide will be who will support and extend
 this product for the very many users who will want it on their
 systems.".
