This is a simple history module for a WWW client.  It keeps a linear
history, with a destructive or non-destructive backtrack, and
list sequencing (previous, next) operations.

If you are building a client, you don't have to use this: just don't
call it.  This module is not used by any other modules in the libwww,
so if you don't refer to it you don't get it in your linked
application. 

This module is implemented by HTHist.c, and it
is a part of the 
W3C Sample Code Library.

.Creation and Deletion Methods.

The history module can handle multiple history lists which can be
useful in a multithreaded environment with several open windows in the
client application. A new histrory lidt is referenced by the handle
returned from the creation method.
