tkWWW
open-in-new
<p>tkWWW is an early, now discontinued <a href="/facts/Web_browser/2pfyymLs">web browser</a> and <a href="/facts/WYSIWYG/aGmcHWpX">WYSIWYG</a> HTML editor written by Joseph Wang at <a href="/facts/Massachusetts_Institute_of_Technology/Xk49vNA8">MIT</a> as part of <a href="/facts/Project_Athena/zw19KV1v">Project Athena</a> and the Globewide Network Academy project. The browser was based on the <a href="/facts/Tcl/s7fbKYtR">Tcl</a> language and the <a href="/facts/Tk_(framework)/Y6NBxcbF">Tk (toolkit)</a> extension but did not achieve broad user-acceptance or market share, although it was included in many <a href="/facts/Linux/9FvCKSTq">Linux</a> distributions by default. Joseph Wang wanted tkWWW to become a replacement for r r n and to become a "<a href="/facts/Swiss_army_knife/uGnMy3kG">swiss army knife</a>" of networked computing. </p>
