From http://grail.cnri.reston.va.us/grail/

    Grail is an extensible Internet browser. It supports the
    protocols and file formats commonly found on the World-Wide
    Web, such as HTTP, FTP, and HTML, but, unlike most browsers,
    it is also easily extended to support other protocols or file
    formats, such as CNRI's handle protocol. Grail is distributed
    by CNRI free of charge, and can be freely redistributed
    (within reason).

    Grail is written and extensible in Python, a free
    object-oriented programming language. It also uses Tk, a free
    UI toolkit by John Ousterhout. Grail should run on any Unix
    system to which Python and Tk have been ported - i.e. almost
    all Unix systems supporting X11. In particular, Grail is one
    of the few web browsers that support Solaris for Intel x86
    processors. It now also runs on Windows and Macintosh, since
    there are now stable ports of Tk to those platforms. (You need
    a lot of RAM though.)
