Mosaic    1.2    Amiga World-Wide-Web browser

Amiga Mosaic is a networked information discovery, retrieval, and
collaboration tool originally developed at the National Center for
Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana
and then ported to the Amiga by Michael Fischer, Michael Witbrock, Michael
Meyer, and Steve Dunham.

Mosaic provides a hypertext interface to the global Internet.  Hypertext
is text which contains highlighted links, called hyperlinks or anchors,
to other texts.  Each highlighted phrase (in color or underlined) is a
hyperlink to another document or information resource somewhere on the
Net.  A single click with the left mouse button on any highlighted
phrase will follow the link, and Mosaic will retrieve the document
associated with the selected hyperlink and display it.

The Mosaic client communicates with HTTP servers.  HTTP is the HyperText
Transfer Protocol of the WWW (World Wide Web).  Mosaic can also communicate
with more traditional Internet protocols such as FTP, Gopher, WAIS, NNTP,
etc.

The hypertext documents viewed with Mosaic are written in HTML (HyperText
Markup Language), which is a subset of SGML (Standard Generalized Markup
Language).  Among the many formatting features, HTML allows Mosaic to
display inlined images.  (In fact, an inlined images can serve as a
hyperlink just like a word or phrase can).

Mosaic also features unlimited multimedia capabilities.  File types
that Mosaic cannot handle internally, such as mpeg movies, sound
files, Postscript documents, and JPEG images, are automatically sent
to external viewers (or players).
