Chimera is a program which allows a user to access World-Wide Web servers
|
|
and other information servers. It presents the user with a point-and-click
|
|
graphical interface using the X Window System and the Athena Widgets.
|
|
|
|
While it does NOT do Frames, Java, JavaScript, or even embedded Tcl
|
|
(yet at least), it *is* designed to be ``Wilbur'' (HTML v3.2) compliant,
|
|
and handles .gif, .jpg and quite a number of other image formats
|
|
internally. Yet image handling is a little odd, as compared to other
|
|
browsers. Each image is *often* surrounded by scrollbars, rather than
|
|
being resized to a specified size. Hence it makes a good visual tool
|
|
for proper sizing information.
|
|
|
|
THIS IS AN ALPHA VERSION - so don't be surprised if something doesn't
|
|
properly work OTOH, it *does* do tables and forms, and multiple windows.
|
|
|
|
Unlike version 1.65 previously distributed, it is an all-in-one binary
|
|
and depends upon X- resources settings for configuration. It may
|
|
be touchy about interrupted image fetches, or other things, as well.
|
|
Each user is expected to create a ~/.chimera subdirectory for
|
|
bookmarks and personal preferences, and a ~/.chimera/cache (which may
|
|
be a symlink to somewhere else).
