- Hi all,
-
- When I read these ALYNX posts, I wonder how many of you might just have
- ALYNX installed on your providor. I'm with primenet.com, here in
- Arizona/U.S.A on a shell account for $15 a month. Since Lynx is
- preinstalled by my provider, I simply type "lynx http://(and the rest of
- the URL) to surf in lynx. So I have no need to setup ALYNX. For file
- images and sound links, I wrote a WB button strip in CanDo (I'm no
- bigtime programmer) that sits at the top of the workbench. I use Term and
- download all .html image and soundfiles to ram: and my Cando program has
- buttons to send the picture to Viewtek, the sounds to Play16. I
- accomplish this with an AmigaDos call in CanDo that uses a #?html
- wildcard to find the files in ram:
-
- Now to get an mpegplayer to use wildcards?? Anyone know how??0
-
- Since I haven't figured out the use of
- requesters (programmed in CanDo) I simply deal with files, one at a time
- after downloading. I also configured a Cando "delete #?html" button and a
- Cando save to (directory) #?html button to save pictures/sounds I like.
- To get to the buttons, I just pull down the Term Screen.
-
- Anyway, to see if your provider has Lynx already setup, just open a shell
- in your diskspace and type: lynx http:// (URL of your choice)
- Hope this helps.
- Lynx also has bookmarks.
