- * Recent Changes
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - The FWEB FAQ has been updated for FWEB v1.30 - only as plain text for
- now - HTML version to come soon).
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- * Literate Programming on the World Wide Web
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- FYI, there is a wealth of information on Literate Programming,
- the art of structured programming and documentation [like WEB-like systems
- with (La)TeX formatting] available on the World Wide Web [WWW], a
- distributed HyperText system, a network of documents connected by links
- which can be activated electronically.
- Examples for LitProg environments are WEB for Pascal (DEK), CWEB for C/C++
- (Levy/Knuth), FWEB for C/C++/Fortran/ratfor/TeX (Krommes), various
- language independent tools...and many more. The WWW resource can be
- searched for keywords. The latest version of this resource info sheet is
- available via anonymous FTP to rtfm.mit.edu in file
- /pub/usenet/news-answers/www/resources/literate-programming.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- * How to get to the Web
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you have a WWW browser up and running, try going to
-
- http://info.desy.de/general/users.html
-
- and look for "Literate Programming" in the panel which appears.
- The precise URL is
-
- http://info.desy.de/user/projects/LitProg.html
-
- If you have no clue what WWW is, you can go over the Internet with
-
- telnet info.cern.ch
-
- which brings you to the WWW Home Page at CERN. You are now using the
- simple line mode browser. To move around the Web, enter the numbers
- given after an item. To go to the Literate Programming documents, enter
-
- go http://info.desy.de/user/projects/LitProg.html
-
- This is what you should see now:

- * More on Browsing the Web
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- A very nice way of "browsing" through WWW uses X-based tools like "tkWWW"
- or "NCSA Mosaic". For the latter, binaries for many platforms (ready for
- use) and sources are available via anonymous FTP from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in
- directory Web/Mosaic-binaries. For vt100 terminals there is a much-used
- browser called "Lynx" which can be obtained by FTP from ftp2.cc.ukans.edu
- in the pub/lynx directory. Emacs users will like the "W3" browser, FTP to
- cs.indiana.edu:/pub/elisp/w3.
- There is a FTP repository for browser software at info.cern.ch
- (including a hypertext browser/editor for NeXTStep 3.0 and tkWWW).
- If you cannot go through TELNET, you can still retrieve WWW
- documents by e-mail: send Email to test-list@info.cern.ch with one or
- more lines of the form
-
- send [http-address]
- e.g.
- send http://info.desy.de/user/projects/LitProg.html
-
- at the bottom of the page you'll find all links of that document listed.
- Your mail system must have a mail gateway to internet mail.
