  2. No Chimera? on Review of Mozilla's 2002 · · Score: 1

    "A year ago, there was no Mozilla 1.0, no Netscape 7, no Phoenix, no Chimera and no shipping AOL clients using Gecko (Mozilla's rendering engine)."

    Subject: [comp.infosystems.www] Athena Web browser announcement
    Newsgroups: comp.archives

    Archive-Name: auto/comp.infosystems.www/Athena-Web-browser-annou ncement

    This is an announcement for Chimera. Chimera is a Web browser
    which uses the Athena widgets instead of the Motif widgets.

    Currently it supports HTML but not HTML+ (this means no forms).
    The NCSA HTML widget is used by Chimera to display HTML.

    The current version is 0.9f. There are still a lot of things to be
    done but it seems to work fairly well.

    It works on Suns, DECstations, RS6Ks, Apollos, and
    other machines. It works with X11R4 and R5. It doesn't
    work on Linux boxes or SGIs but this should change in the next
    few days.

    You can grab the distribution at

    ftp.cs.unlv.edu:/pub/chimera/c9f.tar.gz.

    Send comments/suggestions/bug reports to bug-chimera@cs.unlv.edu.

    So is this Mozilla based version a rewrite or a lift of the name?
