Concerning the following:- - http://www.w3.org/History.html "A Little History of the World Wide Web" $Revision: 1.24 $ of $Date: 2001/02/16 16:23:01 $ Firstly, it states, 'Tim Berners-Lee writes a notebook program, "Enquire-Within-Upon-Everything"'. I believe that the original system was called simply "ENQUIRE", and the program used to interface the system itself was called "ENQUIRE WITHIN". This is backed up by the GIF scans of the original manual at [1]. The full title "Enquire Within Upon Everything" was the source that TimBL derived it from, the name of a victorian book. There is an etext of that book available at [2]. Further to that, I painstakingly typed out the entire ENQUIRE manual by hand, and it is now available at:- http://infomesh.net/2001/enquire/manual/ I did this because the original GIF images [1] are difficult to read, and more or less impossible to cite from :-) I have tried to maintain the original typsetting as far as possible. Secondly, the link to "Hypertext and CERN" text version - http://www.w3.org/HTandCERN.txt is broken. So is the WN version: http://www.w3.org/HTandCERN.wn [1] http://www.w3.org/History/1980/Enquire/ [2] http://www.ex-parrot.com/~dave/enquire/ Thanks for your time, -- Kindest Regards, Sean B.
