    The WorldWideWeb application is now available as an alpha release in source
    and binary form from info.cern.ch.
    WorldWideWeb is a hypertext browser/editor which allows one to read information
    from local files and remote servers. It allows hypertext links to be made and  
    traversed, and also remote indexes to be interrogated for lists of useful  
    documents. Local files may be edited, and links made from areas of text to  
    other files, remote files, remote indexes, remote index searches, internet news  
    groups and articles. All these sources of information are presented in a  
    consistent way to the reader. For example, an index search returns a hypertext  
    document with pointers to documents matching the query.  Internet news articles  
    are displayed with hypertext links to other referenced articles and groups.
