Chimera

    A modular, X Window System-based
   web browser for Unix.  Chimera uses the
   Athena widget set so Motif is not needed.  It supports
   forms, inline images, TERM, SOCKS, proxy servers,
   Gopher, FTP, HTTP and local file accesses.  Chimera can
   be extended using external programs.  New protocols can
   easily be added and alternate image formats can be used for
   inline images (e.g. PostScript).
