With xmosaic it is very easy to read lokal and remote hypertexts which are easy to build (f.e. with vi). Pointer to other hypertexts (URL) look like | "http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Experimental/vatican.exhibit/Vatica n.exhibit.h | tml" xmosaic is easy to install and you can use the client without servers to read local files. You can ftp xmosaic from | ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Web Sorry, but till now you need X11, but in comp.infosystems.www mwk20@ccc.amdahl.com (Michael W Knowles) writes: | |timbl@info.cern.ch (Tim Berners-Lee) writes: ... |> and there are rumours of Mosaic for Windows in the ?fall?. | | Yup, it's true. We (NCSA) are working on Mosaic for Windows. We | should | have a beta release out by the end of the summer, possibly an alpha | before then. Greetings, Benedikt.
