- lynx-2.6.README
- September 1996
-
- This archive (lynx-2.6.NIHS.tar.gz) contains an Installer.app package for
- lynx-2.6. This software is location dependant, so it insists on installing
- to /usr/local (if you need it somewhere else, you'll need to recompile).
-
- From the README:
-
- WHAT IS LYNX?
-
- Lynx 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 Lynx run on
- Un*x and VMS.
-
- Lynx can be used to access information on the World Wide Web, or to
- build information systems intended primarily for local access. For
- example, Lynx has been used to build several Campus Wide Information
- Systems (CWIS). In addition, Lynx can be used as a shell interface for
- beginning users.
