The World Wide Web or WWW initiative has brought the
vast universe of information that is available on the
internet to the user's desktop. WWW browsers, through
their use of Hypertext Links, simplify movement around
the vast Web which consists of WWW, Gopher, FTP and other
internet information servers. Some common WWW browsers
are Lynx (text mode interface) and Mosaic (graphical
interface). WWW server and browser software is publically
available from various sources such as NCSA and CERN.
Mosaic, for example, is available for many platforms
including Unix X-Windows and MS-Windows.
Speakers: To be announced, awaiting final confirmations.
We have two speakers in the works for this meeting, one a
well known publisher and author and another who has put
together and has been operating an internet WWW server.
