The UC Davis Center for Medical Informatics in the course of producing a
research tool has developed Odyssey, a web browser optimized for
multi-user, shared workstation environments. The browser is not intended
as a Netscape or Explorer replacement, but instead addresses several
issues common to the use of web browsers in semi-public areas such as a
library or hospital ward.  It supports password authenticated
customization of browser features (printing, open url function, default
links) as well as hyperlink directed exclusion of inappropriate
sites(through default web page and disabling of 'open URL function'). The
Odyssey browser is freeware and Windows95/NT compatible.
