Lou Montulli was also the student at
UKansas doing much of the design and implementation on the
WWW browser,
Lynx, in
1991-
1992.
Lynx was originally based on the Hytelnet system, and was a fully functional hypertext browser, with its own document markup language, before it became WWW compatible through the addition of HTML and HTTP support.
Lynx was firmly established as the most functional and most innovative among the text-based WWW browsers by the time Lou left to join Netscape.
