- This is XMosaic, version 1.2, compiled with MetroLink's Motif 1.2.2
- static libraries. I am releasing two different versions of Mosaic,
- one compiled to use TCP/IP like normal, and one using Robert Armstrong
- (ttknock@bronze.lcs.mit.edu)'s patches to run across Term. I made no
- modifications to the source, I only changed the Makefiles.
-
- You can get the source from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu, in /Web/xmosaic-source.
-
- Here is an excerpt from the FEATURES file included:
-
- o Support for accessing documents and data through Gopher, WAIS,
- World Wide Web, FTP, NNTP/Usenet news, Techinfo, TeXinfo, Telnet,
- tn3270, Archie, CSO qi/ph, NCSA DMF, local files, and other
- sources.
- o Friendly X/Motif user interface.
- o Color and monochrome default X resource settings.
- o Multiple independent toplevel windows.
- o History list per window (both 'where you've been' and 'where you
- can go').
- o Global history with previously visited locations visually distinct;
- global history is persistent across sessions.
- o Hotlist/bookmark capability -- keep list of interesting documents,
- add/remove/edit items, list is persistent across sessions.
- o Personal annotations with GUI annotation entry dialog; annotations
- can later be edited or deleted, and hyperlinks to existing annotations
- are inlined into subsequent accesses of an annotated document. (Note:
- any document from any server via any access method can be
- annotated.)
- o Group annotations with NCSA group annotation server (not yet
- released).
- o Audio (voice) annotations with GUI for controlling recording process
- (SGI, SGI, and HP only).
- o Support for recognizing and handling GIF, JPEG, TIFF, audio, AIFF,
- DVI, MPEG, MIME, XWD, RGB, HDF, PostScript documents and forking
- off appropriate viewers.
- o Transparent and automatic uncompression of compressed (.Z) and
- gzip'd (.z or .gz) files.
- o Inlined images in formatted (HTML) text: X bitmaps and GIF images
- can be included anywhere inside a document, and can act as hyperlink
- anchors. Image files themselves can be located anywhere on the
- network. Images can act as maps, so clicking on them sends
- coordinates of click to remote server.

- saving them to local disk without viewing them.
