- Hi, Tim.

- Yes, I'm very interested in using that code, and do the testing...
- Regarding the X browser, I was able to rig up an X11 W3 browser by
- using viola as the front end to www (I only had to make very few and
- minor changes to www.c). It's not very sophisticated at this point
- (a one nite hack...), and does not much more than display the output
- of www in a scrollable text field, highlite the reference numbers for
- visibility, make references and commands (Back, Help...) clickable
- or keyable, and has a few buttons corresponding to the www commands.
-
- One thing I'd like to do soon, if I have time, is to teach the parser
- about viola object descriptions, and basically embed viola objects
- (GUIs & programmability) into html files.
-
- Thanks.
