This few pages are a result of not being able to find
resources on the Web for the Windows port of
the Lynx browser. It took me a few days before it hit me that I have to
write a batch file for Lynx to work properly. Hence I decided to put in my
two-cents worth. Most of the pages here will apply to general Lynx users
but there are some Windows-specific information and terms.
Although I have tried to include as much as I can and explain things,
I am sure that there will be some questions as well as mistakes. All
questions regarding the workings of Lynx should go to the
Lynx-Dev Group as they are the ones that
support this software. If you should wish to comment or complain about these
pages, you are most welcome to e-mail me at bonkers@postmaster.co.uk.
What Is Lynx?
Lynx is a World Wide Web browser, just like Internet Explorer and
Netscape. What makes it different is that it is a text-only browser
- it does not display the graphics on web pages.
Lynx first started life as a UNIX application, written by the
University of Kansas as part of their
campus-wide information system. In time, it became a gopher client, then
a WWW browser. Lynx was released to the public under the terms of the
GNU General Public License of the
Free Software Foundation, Inc. It is
being constantly improved by a group of developers
(the Lynx-Dev Group).
