browsers for this system including a simple tty interface.
Tk is an interpreted toolkit which allows one to build X11 applications
quickly and easily.
tkWWW is a Tk interface to (WWW).
Since the entire user interface is written in an interpreted language,
it is very easy to make modifications and extensions to the system.
