- Ok, I have made a more recent but very buggy app avaialble.
- It can't edit -- try and it will destroy your files!
- But you can browse. No embedded graphics unfortunately.
-
- Your development proposal sounds great..... if you are in a position
- to enhance the NeXT editor, then we could come to an arrangement...
-
- Here is the corrent README from ftp://info.cern.ch/
-
- THE EDITOR
-
- WorldWideWeb_0.16.tar.Z is the only wysiwyg hypertext editor for the
- NeXT. It has limitations and bugs -- it can't access Gopher, FTP
- sites,
- etc. But it is a hypertext editor!
-
- Note this app is compiled for NextStep 3.0 and won't work with 2.1.
- There is no way round this; don't ask! (The Project file is
- converted by the ProjectBuilder to a version 3 project file
- when you first compile for version 3. The version 3 project
- file won't work with 2.0 (Interface builder and project builder
- shared a file and an app in 2.x), and so there is no going back!
- The 3.x app won't work under 2.x as it needs 3.x shared libaries.)
-
-
- THE BROWSER
-
- The file labelled 1.0 is a pre-alpha browser which uses the libwww
- library, so you can get multimedia files etc etc. Does doc
- format conversion, etc.
-
-
- THE EDITOR DOES NOT WORK. NOT SUPPORTED....
- Only for the curious. This DOES handle Gopher, FTP, etc.
-
- Sorry they have the same icon now ... can be very confusing
- if you use both.

- Subject: NeXT client
-
- Sorry if I am covering ground covered elsewhere (FAQ's), but I
- thought this might be an appropriate forum for my questions.
-
- I am investigating the possibility of using WWW as the central app
- for our proposed electronic library system (Xel - Xavier electronic
- library). Having come here recently (2 months ago) from a
- CD-ROM/Hypertext company, WWW appeals to me for a number of reasons.
- I have also worked with various _SGML_, or _SGML-like_ engines (OWL
- Guide, CDAuthor Hypertext, KRS, PLS, Hyperwriter, WorldView, IDEAS,
- Mark-It, etc) and would like to build on that.
-
- The library has four NeXT machines, which will form the seed of the
- system, and they will be the platform where capabilities of the Web
- are first demonstrated (I hope). I would like to prepare a demo of a
- home page providing access to regional resources (ie. telnet'ing to
- other library catalogues, ftp sites, etc) sometime in the next few
- weeks.
-
-
- I realize the latest version (0.16) of the NeXT Hypermedia
- Browser/Editor does not support telnet, gopher, etc., but I would
- like to use the NeXT for these early demos if possible. Besides, I
- am new to NeXT, love it, and would like to use it for document
- creation/development. Once I get into the development environment in
- more detail I would be interested in helping in any way I can with
- the NeXT WWW app.
-
- - Does anybody have a NeXT browser that supports these functions, or
- is there a way to telnet from the current version in some way?
-
-
- - If not, I have recently loaded MouseX for X11R5 - does anybody have
- any experience with Viola or other X11 apps using this version?
- Should I obtain a different X app for NeXT that has been proven with
- some of these?
-
-
- - I have also recently loaded the Cello app, but would like to stay
- away from DOS/Windows if possible for now.
-
- I appreciate any info you may be able to provide, and am looking
- forward to working with WWW and the Web development community.
-
- Thanks
