Grail is an extensible Internet browser. It supports the
|
|
|
|
|
protocols and file formats commonly found on the World-Wide
|
|
|
|
|
Web, such as HTTP, FTP, and HTML, but, unlike most browsers,
|
|
|
|
|
it is also easily extended to support other protocols or file
|
|
|
|
|
formats, such as CNRI's handle protocol. Grail is distributed
|
|
|
|
|
by CNRI free of charge, and can be freely redistributed
|
|
|
|
|
(within reason).

Grail is written and extensible in Python, a free
|
|
|
|
|
object-oriented programming language. It also uses Tk, a free
|
|
|
|
|
UI toolkit by John Ousterhout. Grail should run on any Unix
|
|
|
|
|
system to which Python and Tk have been ported - i.e. almost
|
|
|
|
|
all Unix systems supporting X11. In particular, Grail is one
|
|
|
|
|
of the few web browsers that support Solaris for Intel x86
|
|
|
|
|
processors. It now also runs on Windows and Macintosh, since
|
|
|
|
|
there are now stable ports of Tk to those platforms. (You need
|
|
|
|
|
a lot of RAM though.)
