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:

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.
