Lynx is a fully-featured World Wide Web (WWW) client for users running cursor-addressable, character-cell display devices such as vt100 terminals, vt100 emulators running on Windows 95/NT or Macintoshes, or any other character-cell display. It will display Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) documents containing links to files on the local system, as well as files on remote systems running http, gopher, ftp, wais, nntp, finger, or cso/ph/qi servers, and services accessible via logins to telnet, tn3270 or rlogin accounts. Current versions of Lynx run on Amiga, Unix, VMS, Windows95/NT, 386DOS and OS/2 EMX. Lynx can be used to access information on the WWW, or to establish information systems intended primarily for local access. Lynx has been used to build several Campus Wide Information Systems (CWIS). Lynx can also be used to build systems isolated within a single LAN. --- NOTES: - requires 68020+/os2.04+/2 megs+/ixemul48+/ixnet48+/amitcp30b2+ - requires also, terminfo database, u can download full db from: ( http://aminet.net/dev/gg/ncurses-5.5-1-bin-m68k.lha ) ; or cropped one(most common terminfos) form: ( http://aminet.net/dev/gg/ncurses-5.5-1-usr-m68k.lha ) - uses latest version of 'slang' instead of 'ncurses', this has some advantages like: speed, speed and speed + 'vcon' friendly. if u tend to use it thru telnet and stuck on 80x25 terminal try to change these variables: LINES, COLUMNS - if u experience problems with saving downloaded files try Unix like paths, not 'ram:titsofmrsjohnson.jpg', but '/ram/titsofmrsjohnson.jpg'. - pick some text editor and study & customize 'lynx.cfg' that can be found in 'usr/local/etc/'. - consumes something about ~35 kilos of stack. - no ssl, executable would be too big and not really usable. - my palette when using 'amiga-f' + 'screenshell': ; COLOR:0:white:black COLOR:1:red:black COLOR:2:black:cyan COLOR:3:green:white COLOR:4:white:blue COLOR:5:green:black COLOR:6:yellow:black COLOR:7:cyan:black --- QUICK START: assign usr: usr/ add assign c: c/ add assign c: usr/local/bin/ add assign bin: usr/local/bin/ add set TERM amiga lynx --- megacz@usa.com
