WWW Viewer Obstacle Course
The purpose of this document
is to test your World Wide Web client, viewers, and their configuration.
This document contains links to documents in many different formats
that are usually not handled directly by the client used to
navigate the Web.
Instead, the client calls another program called a "Viewer" to display
the document.
Note that "display" does not necessarily mean display on the screen.
Some of these document types are sound files, movies, and more
specialized links such as "telnet" and "mailto" links.
It is acceptable if your viewer does not display all these
files.
Some of these files are oddball formats that are not commonly found.
