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

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. There is a
known bug with curses. If you use a terminal type which is unknown
to the system, lynx will crudely abort with a data protection trap.
This is due to the bug in curses. hp2392a and vt100
seem to work. I don't know about other types.
