- This document describes the required steps to install Lynx on VMS systems
- which use the CMU TCP/IP package.
-
- The interface to CMU is implemented via Mike O'Malley's excellent LIBCMU socket
- library for VMS. It is not included in the Lynx distribution as it is quite
- large and freely available from:
- ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/vms-libcmu/ckvlcmu.hex
-
- This is a hexified version of the LIBCMU.BCK saveset.
-
- All LIBCMU files (library and include files) are assumed to be in the
- CMUIP_ROOT:[SYSLIB] directory. Ensure the following LIBCMU files are
- placed appropriately on your system:
-
- cmuip_root:[syslib]ioctl.h
- cmuip_root:[syslib]libcmu.olb
-
- Beyond this, follow the same INSTALLATION procedures that you would for any
- VMS Lynx compilation.
-
- REMAINING PROBLEMS:
- At this time, the FTP Lynx code does not appear to work; it is believed
- that this problem is due to an as of yet unresolved problem with the
- LIBCMU 1.2 library. The getsockname routine returns all zeros for the
- local address portion and results in the system sending an invalid
- PORT command to the remote end.
-
- Telnet, tn3270 and rlogin support are not yet implemented.
