Other media forms

Other kinds of files can be served to many web browsers. It's all dependent on how the browser is configured. A good example is a PostScript file. If the browser has the ability to display this kind of file (as most UNIX workstations do), an external application can be started and given the file to display. In the case of Mosaic, this mapping of file type to application is controlled by the .mailcap file.
