The latter is compiled C code based on the CERN lib See also TkWWW has two strictly separated processes: one for the GUI, and another for network interaction and for parsing HTML. It was limited, however, in that it could include only two links from the original homepages. The bot returned a list of links in the form of bookmarks. The search algorithm worked by identifying "web neighborhoods" - finding logically related homepages. Tk TkWWW robot's major advantage was its flexibility in adapting to virtually any criteria to guide its search path and to control its selection of data for retrieval. Scott Spetka presented a paper at the Mosaic and the Web Conference in Chicago entitled "The TkWWW Robot" in October 1994. The TkWWW Robot Ī screenshot of the TkWWW Robot Browsing Interface. The ability to access Multi-user Object-Oriented ( MOO) or Multi-User Dungeon ( MUD) servers was requested as a new package for tkWWW, and this was delivered by the Phoenix team. Further development would have added support for BSD platforms.
The browser was supported on MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, and on Linux and other Unix systems. The main new features were: improved HTML+ support, deeper integration of features such as copy and paste and native look-and-feel, and support for the Kerberos protocol by modified servers. Development ceased in May 1995, there being a variety of similar tools available.
Phoenix was a well-known web browser and editor, created at the University of Chicago in the Biological Sciences Division, that was built on tk Development began in the summer of 1993, when there weren't any easy-to-use web-page editors available.
īased on the newly released Tk 4.0, tkIt also added full support for inline images. Version 0.11 worked successfully with RCS. In version 0.9, the browser achieved beta status and added support for character-styling tags and for version 7.0 of Tcl, as well as partial support for image tags. Version 0.8 improved the graphical user interface (GUI) and added a "reload" option. Version 0.6 made personal annotations compatible with xmosaic and improved the GUI. Version 0.5, released 8 February 1993, introduced support for multiple fonts. Version 0.4 integrated a much easier installation procedure, a better default color scheme, keyboard traversals and a history mechanism. Joseph Wang announced in July 1992 that he was developing a web browser based on Tk, and made the alpha version 0.1 publicly available.
