- The ScreenMode w3 interface is available via anonymous ftp from
- wilbur.njit.edu in dist/w3. The Sun and Dec versions are a bit out
- of date, so plan to get a new one soon, only the HP version is up
- to date. This is still a prerelease version.
-
- We have an experimental server for our CWIS plus a special gateway
- server. The ScreenMode interface can still be access via telnet to
- eies2.njit.edu with the login www. You can try the manual page reader
- their, or via http://eies2:1234/man. We make extensive use of the <PRE>
- tag for preformatted text. Much of our hypertext, including the manual
- pages, will not be formatted properly unless you use one of our readers,
- or another reader modifies to support <PRE>.
-
- The preformatted tag, PRE, unlike <PLAINTEXT>, allows anchors etc. to be
- inserted in text that is already formatted. It greatly simplifies the
- task of importing text from independant applications will anchors
- everywhere you want them. In addition, we have a set of macros for
- MS-word which allow editing HTML in WYSIWYG fashion, but this also
- requires support of the preformatted tag in HTML.
-
- Al Leurck (al@eies2.njit.edu) developed the PRE tag and MS-word macros
- here in the ScreenMode interface and we are adding it to the tkWWW X
- interface.
-
- We plan to impliment group hypertext using a mail server to suppliment
- the HPPT access protocol. Readers can contribute anchors to a text via
- mail to www at the server machine. Our browsers will support this
- transparently. Later we hope to participate in a broader effort to
- include SGML tags to support forms, for truely interactive hypertext.
