TourGuide.java

An Applet by Rajiv Pant (Betul)

A web site navigator, also
a Tour Guide for your visit to a web site or a group of web sites.

Parameters can be set from calling html page so that other sites
may easily use this applet.

Aim of applet / Future Additions:

* To be fully customizable.
* Use full multimedia introductions to sites. (Of course, users can
turn off sound :-)

* If a page has special instructions for its introduction (which may
either be stored in the page itself on in the links file specified
as a parameter to the applet, the applet can do special things including:

   ** Open another window to display an introduction page.
   ** Parse the page and display it in parts explaing things.
