It presents the user with a point-and-click graphical interface using the X Window System and the Athena Widgets. -This is version 1.65. +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). + +Ref: <URL: http://www.unlv.edu/chimera/two/ > |
