- I've uploaded a very preliminary interface to World Wide Web using the
- tk toolkit to export.lcs.mit.edu and the tcl archive in
- barkley.berkeley.edu.
-
- tkWWW Version 0.1 alpha (joe@athena.mit.edu)
- --------------------------------------------
-
- This a first pass at a browser for World Wide Web using the tk
- library. It is very buggy. Use at your own risk.
-
- The Tk browser has the following advantages.
-
- 1. Since the entire user interface is written in an interpreted
- language, it should be very easy to make modifications and extensions
- to the system.
-
- 2. More important, it is possible to imbed Tk code into hypertext
- documents. To see an example of this, load in the hypertext file
- file:$pwd/Tcl/text2.html
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ------------
- In order to install tkWWW you will need
-
- The code for the WWW line-mode browser. (anon ftp from info.cern.ch)
- Libraries for tk and tcl (I'm using tk2.1 and tcl6.3)
-
- A wish intepreter which contains the Hyper and XYGraph widgets
-
- To install this program, unpack the WWW line-mode browser source and
- cd to the directory WWW. Unpack this tar file.
