There's also an incomplete Tcl based browser, Plume. I considered including
it on the Tcl disk, but alas, it's just too raw to be uselful. One major
limitation of Tcl/Tk is that only a GIF decoder is included in base Tcl/Tk;
JPG and other formats are handled by extensions libs (read: probably too big
for a mulinux TCL disk.) The 0.62a version sort of works; the 1.0a version
looks nice but has some flaws that prevent it from rendering a lot of common
HTML. Unfortunately, the original author is off doing wonderful work
with XML now; the other effort to update Plume is using another Tk extension
as the HTML renderer.
Again, it might be a nice project from someone to adopt :) If anyone would
like to take a stab at it, I'd be glad to point them in the right direction.
