Almost immediately after Berners-Lee completed the WorldWideWeb web browser for the NeXT platform Pellow was tasked with creating a browser using her recently acquired skills in the C programming language.
The outcome was that she wrote the first generic Line Mode Browser that could run on non-NeXT systems.
