mosaic-internal-dump
is used to tell Mosaic to
dump files of the corresponding type to disk (providing the
user with a dialog box to specify a filename). Normally this
"magic viewer" applies to all unrecognized types (including,
by default, application/octet-stream
).
mosaic-internal-reference
is used to tell Mosaic
that it has native handling capabilities for this datatype.
This should only be used for HDF and netCDF data files,
and only with versions of Mosaic that have native HDF support
compiled in. By default this "magic viewer" applies to
types application/x-hdf
,
application/x-netcdf
,
application/hdf
, and
application/netcdf
(the latter two aren't valid
MIME types at the moment, but should be someday).
In conjunction with NCSA httpd 1.0a2 and later, this means graphical overviews of distributed information spaces are now easily doable (a single image map can essentially point to lots of URLs scattered all across the Web). An example is here.
<BASE HREF="whatever">
to
allow specification of a "real" URL inside an HTML document.
(This is a convenient way to have WAIS server access not screw up
URLs of documents that normally exist in a hypermedia hierarchy,
or in any other instance where the same document, especially when
containing relative links, is served off of more than one
server.) An example is here -- the document is physically located at "http://wintermute.ncsa.uiuc.edu:8080/foobar.html" but the "real" URL is specified in the document source. Inlined links specified with relative URLs, and relative hyperlinks, work.
delayImageLoads

The specfile itself consists of alternating lines of title and URL; a single line starting with two dashes ("--") between any two title/URL pairs counts as a separator. By default up to 80 things (title/URL pairs + separators) can be in a specfile; this can be increased in src/gui-menubar.c if you're crazy. An example specfile is distributed with the source code (but is not intended to be a default).
The developer who implemented this feature disagrees with its presence in the program; the contents of such a customizable menubar ought to be in a hypermedia page (so you can actually format, lay out, and explain the various hyperlinks) that in turn ought to be served to the network (so others can benefit from your organization of information).

It seems to work best with not too wide windows (otherwise the page get scaled down, and so the fonts will get smaller too) and it is best to use times font (you may prefer to select the small times font from the option menu before printing/saving in Postscript format).Documents that show up badly in Mosaic, will do so in the postscript. The output uses the placement calculated by the browser. It does not reformat the document. This implies amongs other things that no word wrapping is done.
