There is now a mailing list for discussion regarding the Tk browser to
World Wide Web.  The address of the mailing list is 

      tk-www@athena.mit.edu

To get on the list, please send mail to 

      tk-www-request@athena.mit.edu

(For those who missed the original announcement of tkWWW ...... )

World Wide Web is a initiative to create a world wide network of hypertext
links.  A number of different browsers for WWW are available, to get a 
sample of the browser for dumb terminals, telnet to "info.cern.ch"

Tk is an interpreted language used to create X applications.

TkWWW is a WWW broswer which uses Tk.  The combination is particularly
powerful because is allows users to include Tk "widgets" (buttons,
scrollbars, etc.) in hypertext nodes.  It is now in very early alpha
test.

tkWWW can be ftp'ed from export.lcs.mit.edu, barkley.berkeley.edu, and
info.cern.ch.  To compile it, you will also need the WWW line mode
browser from info.cern.ch.
