_L_y_n_x 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 _L_y_n_x
run on UNIX and VMS.
_L_y_n_x can be used to access information on the World Wide
Web, or to build information systems intended primarily for
local access. For example, _L_y_n_x has been used to build
several Campus Wide Information Systems (CWIS). In
addition, _L_y_n_x can be used to build systems isolated within
a single LAN.
OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
At start up, _L_y_n_x will load any local file or remote URL
specified at the command line. For help with URLs, press
""""????"""" or """"hhhh"""" while running _L_y_n_x. Then follow the link titled,
"Help on URL's."

Lynx has incorporated code from a variety of sources along
the way. The earliest versions of Lynx included code from
Earl Fogel of Computing Services at the University of
Saskatchewan, who implemented HYPERREZ in the UN*X
environment. HYPERREZ was developed by Niel Larson of
Think.com and served as the model for the early versions of
Lynx. Those versions also incorporated libraries from the
UN*X Gopher clients developed at the University of
Minnesota, and the later versions of Lynx rely on the WWW
client library code developed by Tim Berners-Lee and the WWW
community. Also a special thanks to Foteos Macrides who
ported much of Lynx to VMS and to everyone on the net who
has contributed to Lynx's development either directly
(through comments or bug reports) or indirectly (through
inspiration and development of other systems).
