                       X11/Athena World-Wide Web Client
                             written by John Kilburg

Chimera is an X/Athena Web client for UNIX-based workstations.
If you do not know about the Web then read the comp.infosystems.www
newsgroup or grab the FAQ from rtfm.mit.edu using ftp.
This program does not require Motif.

There is a mailing list called (send bug reports here)

bug-chimera@cs.unlv.edu

Read INSTALL for installation instructions and hints.

The Chimera distribution is made up of several parts:

src            This is the source code for Chimera.  This is
               code written by John Kilburg.

lib            Run-time configuration files for Chimera.

mxw            These are miscellaneous X widgets written by various
               authors.

libhtmlw       This is the HTML widget.  It was written at NCSA.  You
               can find this code in the Mosaic-2.x distribution.
               Read README.NCSA for more details.

pbmplus        This is the pbmplus library written by Jef Poskanzer.
               It is a slimmed down version which contains the basics
               for Chimera.  The reason the version here is slimmed down
               is to keep the size of the Chimera distribution small and
               so that people who don't want the entire distribution
               won't have to mess around with it themselves.  I recommend
               that you get the whole
               package at some point as it is a very nice package.
               Please DO NOT redistribute the pbmplus distribution
               from Chimera.  Redistribute a complete version
               because we don't need incomplete bits of pbmplus running
               around.  Read the README file in the pbmplus directory.

You should examine the files in each of these directories for
copyright and distribution information.

Following is a list of folks (in no particular order) that have contributed

probably not complete...if you should be on it yell at me):

Jay and Greg are the system guys for the engineering college at UNLV.
They have done a really nice job of setting up and maintaining the
computing environment here.  A lot of the development
work was also done on a Linux box.  I am grateful to Linus Torvalds
and the other folks (too numerous to mention) who have
worked on Linux.
