The WorldWideWeb application is now available as an alpha release in source | |
and binary form from info.cern.ch. | |
WorldWideWeb is a hypertext browser/editor which allows one to read information | |
from local files and remote servers. It allows hypertext links to be made and | |
traversed, and also remote indexes to be interrogated for lists of useful | |
documents. Local files may be edited, and links made from areas of text to | |
other files, remote files, remote indexes, remote index searches, internet news | |
groups and articles. All these sources of information are presented in a | |
consistent way to the reader. For example, an index search returns a hypertext | |
document with pointers to documents matching the query. Internet news articles | |
are displayed with hypertext links to other referenced articles and groups. | |
The code is not strictly public domain: it is copyright CERN (see copyright | |
notice is in the .tar), but is free to collaborating institutes. | |
Also available is a portable line mode browser which allows hypertext to be | |
browsed by anyone with a dumb ascii terminal emulator. Hypertext may be made | |
public by putting on an anonymous FTP server, or by using a HTTP daemon. A | |
skeleton HTTP daemon is also available in source form. A server may be written | |
to make other existing data readable by WWW browsers. Files are | |
/pub/WWWNeXTStepEditor_0.12.tar.Z NeXT application + sources | |
/pub/WWWLineMode_0.11.tar.Z Portable Line Mode Browser | |
/pub/WWWDaemon_0.1.tar.Z Simple server | |
Basic documentation is enclosed. Details about our project and about hypertext | |
in general are available in hypertext form on our servers, as are lists of | |
known bugs and features. | |
This project is experimental and of course comes without any warranty | |
whatsoever. However, it could start a revolution in information access. We are | |
currently using WWW for user support at CERN. We would be very interested in | |
comments from anyone trying WWW, and especially those making other data | |
available, as part of a truly world-wide web. | |
