Interfaces

• Abalone
  The abalone flavor provides a good-looking interface, but it may be slower than pistachio. It uses pulldown command menus and occasional pop-up prompt boxes. Note: Your browser does not appear to be fully capable of handling abalone.
• Pistachio
  The pistachio interface offers a full range of features with a rather plain push-button based interface. It will perform well on almost any browser. Note: Your browser does not appear to be fully capable of handling pistachio.
• Bubblegum
  The bubblegum interface is a simplified kid-oriented interface originally developed for the Booktalk system. It will work on most modern browsers. Note: Your browser does not appear to be fully capable of handling bubblegum.
• Vanilla
  The vanilla interface is text-oriented, with very verbose command options. It is missing many features, but will work with most any browser, including non-graphical browsers.
• Papaya
  The Papaya interface offers a familiar environment to users accustomed to Web Yapp. Note: Your browser does not appear to be fully capable of handling papaya.
