| 1 | +WorldWideWeb |
| 2 | +============ |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +This is the first web browser, originally written by Tim Berners-Lee. |
| 5 | +For further details, refer to this [wikipedia article](https://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/WorldWideWeb.html) |
| 6 | +or the [original website](https://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/WorldWideWeb.html) |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +The original source was obtained from [this site](http://browsers.evolt.org/browsers/archive/worldwideweb/NeXT). |

| 10 | +Notes |
| 11 | +----- |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +I have no idea how to make this compile or run. This repository was created |
| 14 | +as a means of archiving a piece of history. The original software was written |
| 15 | +on a NextStep computer, using NextStep specific APIs. (And no, they are not |
| 16 | +compatible with Cocoa. I checked.) |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +It may be possible to build and run this on a NextStep emulator such as |
| 19 | +[Previous](http://previous.alternative-system.com), but I don't know if anyone |
| 20 | +has tried and succeeded. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +If you ever do get this to run, please let me know! |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +Original Readme |
| 25 | +--------------- |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | + IMPORTANT: Get and read the files COPYRIGHT and CERN before downloading |
| 28 | + other files. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | + This directory contains binaries for the NeXTSTEP Web browser |
| 31 | + application. |

| 34 | + THE EDITOR |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + WorldWideWeb_0.16.tar.Z is the only wysiwyg hypertext editor for the |
| 37 | + NeXT. It has limitations and bugs -- it can't access Gopher, FTP sites, |
| 38 | + etc. But it is a hypertext editor! |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + Note this app is compiled for NextStep 3.0 and won't work with 2.1. |
| 41 | + There is no way round this; don't ask! (The Project file is |
| 42 | + converted by the ProjectBuilder to a version 3 project file |
| 43 | + when you first compile for version 3. The version 3 project |
| 44 | + file won't work with 2.0 (Interface builder and project builder |
| 45 | + shared a file and an app in 2.x), and so there is no going back! |
| 46 | + The 3.x app won't work under 2.x as it needs 3.x shared libaries.) |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + THE BROWSER |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | + The file labelled 1.0 is a pre-alpha browser which uses the libwww |
| 52 | + library, so you can get multimedia files etc etc. Does doc |
| 53 | + format conversion, etc. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | + THE EDITOR DOES NOT WORK. NOT SUPPORTED.... |
| 56 | + It can't edit -- try and it will destroy your files! |
| 57 | + Only for the curious. This DOES handle Gopher, FTP, etc. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + Sorry they have the same icon now ... can be very confusing |
| 60 | + if you use both. |

| 66 | + into an application called Nexus.app, rather than WorldWideWeb.app . |
