Abaco is a discontinuedweb browser for thePlan 9 operating system. It is a graphical web browser with support for inline images, tables and frames.[2] It has a truemultiple document interface inspired byacme's interface. It is a multi-threaded and modest-sized program.[3]
webfs, aweb file system, and libhtml, a library to parseHTML, were written atBell Labs as the backend for a new web browser. After the Bell Labs project stalled, Aki Nyrhinen wrote a simple frontend for webfs and libhtml calledwebpage which can render basicweb pages and makes interesting use of the plumber to supporthyperlinks. Work on webpage also stalled, and webpage has now been superseded by abaco.
Abaco, written by Federico G. Benavento, supports most of the HTML 4.01 standard, including frames and tables.[citation needed]
