Chimera

A modular, {X Window System}-based {World-Wide Web} {browser}

for {Unix}. Chimera uses the {Athena} {widget} set so {Motif}

is not needed. Chimera supports forms, inline images, {TERM},

{SOCKS}, {proxy server}s, {Gopher}, {FTP}, {HTTP} and local

file accesses. Chimera can be extended using external

programs. New {protocol}s can easily be added and alternate

image formats can be used for inline images

(e.g. {PostScript}).

Version 1.60 is available for

{(ftp://ftp.cs.unlv.edu/pub/chimera)}.

Chimera runs on {Sun} {SPARC} {SunOS} 4.1.x, {IBM} {RS/6000}

{AIX} 3.2.5, {Linux} 1.1.x. It should run on anything with

{X11}R[3-6], {imake} and a {C} compiler.
