- _L_y_n_x is a fully-featured World Wide Web (WWW) client for
- users running cursor-addressable, character-cell display
- devices (e.g., vt100 terminals, vt100 emulators running on
- PCs or Macs, or any other "curses-oriented" display). It
- will display hypertext markup language (HTML) documents
- containing links to files residing on the local system, as
- well as files residing on remote systems running Gopher,
- HTTP, FTP, WAIS, and NNTP servers. Current versions of _L_y_n_x
- run on UNIX and VMS.
-
- _L_y_n_x can be used to access information on the World Wide
- Web, or to build information systems intended primarily for
- local access. For example, _L_y_n_x has been used to build
- several Campus Wide Information Systems (CWIS). In
- addition, _L_y_n_x can be used to build systems isolated within
- a single LAN.
-
- OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
- At start up, _L_y_n_x will load any local file or remote URL
- specified at the command line. For help with URLs, press
- """"????"""" or """"hhhh"""" while running _L_y_n_x. Then follow the link titled,
- "Help on URL's."

- Lynx has incorporated code from a variety of sources along
- the way. The earliest versions of Lynx included code from
- Earl Fogel of Computing Services at the University of
- Saskatchewan, who implemented HYPERREZ in the UN*X
- environment. HYPERREZ was developed by Niel Larson of
- Think.com and served as the model for the early versions of
- Lynx. Those versions also incorporated libraries from the
- UN*X Gopher clients developed at the University of
- Minnesota, and the later versions of Lynx rely on the WWW
- client library code developed by Tim Berners-Lee and the WWW
- community. Also a special thanks to Foteos Macrides who
- ported much of Lynx to VMS and to everyone on the net who
- has contributed to Lynx's development either directly
- (through comments or bug reports) or indirectly (through
- inspiration and development of other systems).
