<H2 ALIGN="CENTER">What is Safari?</H2>
The Safari Archive Server is a cgi-bin and
<A HREF="http://apache.perl.org">mod_perl</A> application which
provides web access to revision control systems, software configuration
management systems and other hierarchical directories of files.
<BR>
Back ends are available for different
file stores, with more in development.
Many external line tools may be integrated in to a Safari installation. Some
possible tools are:
<UL>
<LI>lint
<LI>wc (word count)
<LI>pretty printers
<LI>format converters
<LI>documentation extractors
<LI>graphics / plot / slide generators
<LI>compilers
<LI>archiving tools (e.g. gzip, tar)
</UL>
Safari is a fairly young Open Source
project, contributions and
suggestions are needed and welcome.
