This is NCSA Mosaic 2.7, one of the first graphical web browsers.
If you're on Ubuntu or something like it, your time machine is fueled
up and ready to go. Follow the instructions below to build and run.
This is [NCSA Mosaic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_(web_browser\)), one
of the first graphical web browsers. This version has barely been modified
since the last official release, version 2.7 beta 6, in 1996. You may also be
interested in [Mosaic-CK](http://www.floodgap.com/retrotech/machten/mosaic/)
and [VMS Mosaic](http://wvnvms.wvnet.edu/vmswww/vms_mosaic.html), which have
been substantially improved from the original.
Many thanks to [Sean MacLennan and Alan Wylie](http://seanm.ca/mosaic/) for doing the heavy lifting. And, of course, hats off to Marc Andreessen, Eric Bina, and the rest of the [NCSA](http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/) team for kicking things off for us. Thanks!

[Alan Dipert](http://alan.dipert.org/) took the last release of Mosaic, put it
on Github, and made some fixes. [Tim Pizey](http://pizey.net/~timp/) modified
it so that in-document javascript is not displayed.
