I am developing a WWW browser that uses a multimodal interface;
speech, sounds, and graphics and text will be used to look at the Web.
Initially, I want to concentrate on creating an auditory interface to
hypertext (HTML files). I am not so much concerned with getting my
browser to work directly off of the Net and retrieve files from remote
hosts. If I can simply use files on our local machine that would be
best.
I am still trying to come up to speed with the operation of a WWW
browser. So, I am looking to those of you that have developed
browsers for some insight into how I might start going about this.
There seems to be several ways I can go about this:
(1) Use the common library provided by CERN (WWWLib) which is used in
the by the browsers www and Lynx. I can use either of these
browsers as a starting point.
(2) Since I am using Windows as my platform, use WinMosaic as a base.
(3) Develop from scratch.
Are there any other ways to go about this? Anyone have any
suggestions?
