From http://grail.cnri.reston.va.us/grail/
Grail is an extensible Internet browser. It supports the
protocols and file formats commonly found on the World-Wide
Web, such as HTTP, FTP, and HTML, but, unlike most browsers,
it is also easily extended to support other protocols or file
formats, such as CNRI's handle protocol. Grail is distributed
by CNRI free of charge, and can be freely redistributed
(within reason).
Grail is written and extensible in Python, a free
object-oriented programming language. It also uses Tk, a free
UI toolkit by John Ousterhout. Grail should run on any Unix
system to which Python and Tk have been ported - i.e. almost
all Unix systems supporting X11. In particular, Grail is one
of the few web browsers that support Solaris for Intel x86
processors. It now also runs on Windows and Macintosh, since
there are now stable ports of Tk to those platforms. (You need
a lot of RAM though.)
