- LYNX SUPPORT FOR SOCKETSHR/NETLIB 18-NOV-1994
- ---------------------------------
-
-
- What is SocketShr?
- ------------------
-
- SOCKETSHR is Eckhart Meyer's socket library interface to the MadGoat NETLIB
- package, which provides a vendor-independent interface to the VMS TCP/IP
- transports. Using this, the same image will run over any of the available
- packages, including UCX, Multinet, CMU, Pathway access and TCPWARE.
-
- SocketShr and NETLIB are separately available libraries that MUST be installed
- before LYNX can use them.
-

-
- Preliminary Setup of SOCKETSHR
- ------------------------------
-
- Once SOCKETSHR has been installed, TWO logical names should be defined:
-
- SOCKETSHR Point to the appropriate shareable image
- SOCKETSHR_LIBRARY Point to the directory containing SOCKETSHR.H
-
- Both should be defined /system /exec
-
-
- Building LYNX
- -------------
-
- Run the BUILD.COM procedures and select the SOCKETSHR_TCP option. This will
- build an image that will run over the SOCKETSHR/NETLIB routines.
-
-
- REMAINING PROBLEMS:
- Telnet, tn3270 and rlogin support are not yet implemented.
