Argo was part of a project to make the Internet accessible to scholars in the Humanities at the University of Groningen. The Argo web browser was created in August 1994 by Bert Bos.
Functionality
The browser featured plug-in modules, or "applets", which allowed for the addition of new functionality without recompilation. Examples of such functionality provided by the applets includes adding support for the following:
- Bookmarks/history
- Cache/proxy support
- Data formats (e.g. ASCII, GIF, HTML, JPEG, XBM, XPM)
E-mail clients (e.g. Mutt, Pine)- Protocols (e.g. FTP, Gopher, HTTP, NNTP, WAIS)
- Graphical navigation
The browser's kernel depended on the modules to provide such functionality.
