Version Francaise
The current version of mMosaic is: mMosaic-3.2.3.
mMosaic is a derivative work of
NCSA XMosaic 2.7b4.
You can use it as a simple browser. Now it supports <TABLE> and other
supplementary tags (like <CENTER>).
Since 3.2.0, mMosaic can run on an IPv6/IPv4 connected computer.
mMosaic has become a free browser since release 3.0.10 (and later) and was build
over Lesstif-0.77 (GNU licence).
Three major (from my point of view) features have been added.
The first is
the multicast capability of mMosaic. It can multicast any embedded object (XPM, JPEG, PNG..., image
MIDI data, Music score (Rosegarden data) or figure (Xfig data)).
Create your own data format via APROG, and use mMosaic to multicast it!
mMosaic will also multicast the cursor and scrollbar positions.
It is, maybe, an attractive
feature for those who want to multicast slides in an interactive manner.
(Note: The cursor is the pencil and the
scrollbar moves the slide if the window is too short - or the slide is too long ;-) ).
Maybe it's possible to give mMosaic the status
of a new multicast medium. A pluggin for sdr exists.
Experimental IPv6 multicast works not badly, but has some limit.
The second is the Application Program called <APROG>.
APROG is a new experimental HTML tag. It enables programs written
over the Xt (like Motif and Athena application) to run inside mMosaic.
If you like <APPLET>, maybe you'll love <APROG>.
If you don't, the third major feature is <APPLET>.
mMosaic is now able to run a JAVA (tm) APPLET. APPLET can be multicasted.
The Java VM is Kaffe, a free Java interpreter; the AWT is Biss -- a free toolkit.
This is an *experimental* feature. If you try it, don't be frightened by
lot of debugging messages on your console.
