Been there, done that ;-)

see http://swiki.gsug.org:8888/browser

(I was especially proud of the tabs and assignment arrows and
proportional font when I did this in Dec. 1998 ...)

I just ported the stuff from PWS to ComSwiki. It's all implemented as
addresses and actions now (great concept indeed). You need to file in my
HtmlWrapperStream though, as it does the formatting (if we had a
PageFormatter that understands text attributes this wouldn't be
necessary). Also, there was a little Swiki bug - GET fields (like
/browser/classes?category=Kernel-Objects) were not separated from the URL.
I'll post a fix. You can grab the zip archive with all stuff from the
browser about page.

Cheers,
