On the NeXT
The prototype browser/editor was written for the NeXT machine, using
the NeXTStep human intreface software.
Why the NeXT for prototyping?
- Large reusability of NeXT Human Interface libraries using Objective-C
- Much higher functionality than Motif, for example
- Fast prototyping with the Interface Buildier
Functionality of prototype:
- Full Browser with keyword search, backtracking, etc
- Editing and link creation
- File, NNTP and HTTP protocols supported.
- Import/exprort of HTML, RTF and plain ascii files. Style sheets.
- (More...)
