# pod2man --stderr -r2.7ck9 -s1 -cSlackBuilds.org mosaic-ck.pod > mosaic-ck.1 =pod =head1 NAME mosaic-ck - updated, unsupported fork of the ancient and venerable NCSA Mosaic web browser =head1 SYNOPSIS B [-mono] [-color] [-nd] [-geometry I] [-display I] [-install] [-iconic] [I] =head1 DESCRIPTION Mosaic is widely considered the grandfather of the modern web browser. Developed at NCSA, it was the first Web browser to win widespread use and acceptance. The last release of Mosaic was in 1997. mosaic-ck is a fork of Mosaic, with several features that allow it to work as a basic, no-frills browser on the modern WWW. Think of it as "lynx with images". There is no support for cookies, SSL, Java, Javascript, Flash, stylesheets, or frames. Table support is optional (and doesn't work well). Unicode/UTF-8 is partially supported. =head1 OPTIONS Unknown options are ignored. If more than one URL is given, only the first is used. =over =item -mono Starts in monochrome mode. Doesn't seem to actually work. =item -color Starts in color mode. This is the default anyway. =item -nd No defaults: don't use existing X resources. See I. =item -geometry I Starting position and size of window. I is a standard X geometry specifier, e.g. B<640x480+0+0>. =item -display I Connect to specified X display. Default is to use the B option in the environment. =item -install Install own colormap. Obsolete unless you're using an X server with 256 or fewer colors. =item -iconic Start the application minimized. =back =head1 FILES =over =item /etc/X11/app-defaults/Mosaic Default X resources, for specifying options like fonts and default window geometry. Can be overridden by the user's B<~/.Xdefaults> or B<~/.Xresources>. If this file doesn't exist, built-in defaults are used instead. =item ~/.mosaic Preferences, history, annotations, etc are saved here. May also contain these optional config files: =over =item mosaic-imageselect-sites Optional rules for whether to immediately load, delay loading, or not load images from particular sites. Might be useful for ad blocking. =item mosaic-spoof-agents List of options for the B -> B sub-menu. =item mosaic-user-defs Used to define custom actions. Example contents of this file might be: Google Search GET:http://google.com/search?q=__string__ To use, highlight some text, then right-click and select B -> B. =back See /usr/doc/mosaic-ck-@VERSION@/sample_dotfiles for commented examples of the above files. =back =head1 AUTHORS NCSA Mosaic credits: ============================================================================= Scott Powers spowers@ncsa.uiuc.edu \ The N.C.S.A.
