A Place for me to play with XMosaic-1.2 - Mostly to try to get it to work on a Mac.

Pre-Requisites - Download and install OpenMotif from:

https://www.ist-inc.com/motif/download/index.html

It installs into /usr/OpenMotif

Of course you need X-Windows installed as well.

You can look at the NCSA README but here are the quick instructions.

cd libwww
make clean all
cd ../libhtmlw
make clean all
cd ../src
make clean all

From the src directory start xmosaic:

./xmosaic &

I have made very few changes to let it browse a bit more of the web reasonably:

• It uses HTTP/1.1 instead of HTTP 1.0 so it can see virtual hosted sites

• It uses sips to convert all images to gif to give best chance of seeing them.

• It ignores ampersand hex values as those were not invented yet

• It hides content between script and style tags as those were not invented yet

It also is pretty chatty in the console while it is running - I am still working on the code and want to see if it breaks.
