Lynx V 2.3 ported to the HP3000!

---

Overview

This is a quick port of lynx2-3 to the HP3000. I use Mosaic myself, so this is a fairly untested application. There were a few little things I had to do to get it to port to the 3000, and there is one small little known problem which is a result of the port. We'll see if anyone notices.

If you make any beneficial changes to the source, let me know and I will try to incorporate them into the distribution.

If you do encounter any problems with this software, please send me some mail. I will at least collect the problems and hope to look at them later. I can't guarantee that I will have time to fix them. Also, please try not to contact me for installation and other problems with NCSA's httpd. The instructions for http are available at URL:

System Requirements

• Your system must be running MPE/iX 5.0 pull release or later (X.50.20).
• You must have the HP C compiler installed.
• You must have networking installed.

Installation

Installing the lynx binary:

  • Download the file from JAZZ using http to a temporary machine.
  • FTP the binary from the temporary machine to your MPE box.
  • sh.hpbin.sys -L           #Run the posix shell
  • uncompress lynx.Z
  • exit                      #Exit back to CI
  • file lynx2;code=nmprg     #Convert to a NMPRG file
  • copy ./lynx;*lynx2
  • purge ./lynx
  • rename LYNX2,./lynx
  • You can now run lynx from the posix shell!

If you'd like to use a configuration file, it may be placed in /etc/lynx.cfg.

Installing the lynx sources:

You should be able to uncompress and untar the source archive, cd to the "src" directory and type "make". It will build everything.

Troubleshooting

• What sort of terminal type should I use?
  You probably want to use "hp2392a", which has been set to the default.
