http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/wlynx/ readme.txt This message. lynx_w32.zip A compiled Win32 Lynx.exe, lynx.cfg, cp.exe, mv.exe and sendmail.exe along with some config info. lynx_386.zip A compiled DJGPP Lynx.exe, lynx.cfg and wattcp.cfg. Needs a working cp.exe to download. source Info on compiling your own DJGPP or Win32 ports. The Win32 version will work on Win95 or WinNT using the standard winsock. Win3.11 will NOT work -- not even with win32s and wolverine installed. This is a console application meaning that it appears to run in a DOS box within Windows, but it accesses the Windows network layer and other kernel functions directly. The 386 version runs in DOS and requires a 386 or higher and some sort of packet driver. Place cwsdpmi.exe on your PATH if you get a no DPMI message. Place emu387.dxe there if you get Coprocessor not available. The only parts that work so far are http://, file:// and gopher://. Your mileage may vary. Don't forget to alter the wattcp.cfg with your TCP settings. If you just want to look at lynx (not surf) and you get a no packet driver error then check out the drivers subdirectory. If you want to run helper apps then they *may* need to be in your path. I haven't tested this much yet. lynx uses cp.exe to make a copy of a temp file when you download and then choose a destination. Don't delete it. It works best when put in your PATH. This version uses BLOCKING lookups and connects. I wasn't ready to butcher the code to install non-blocking calls yet. The Win32 version should now at least have non-blocking lookups. This is NOT guarenteed to be a secure client. Don't just slap it on an NT server or DOS BBS and open it up to the public without testing it!!! File access looks like this: file:///c:/ file:///c:/dos file:///c:/dos/command.com Here are some useful environment variables which you should set up in a lynx.bat file: HOME Where to keep the bookmark file and personal config files. TEMP or TMP Bookmarks are kept here with no HOME. Temp files here. USER Tells Lynx you are real instead of an anonymous user(?) LYNX_CFG Where to find the lynx.cfg. 386 version only: WATCONF Where to find the wattcp.cfg file. Look in SAMPLES for an idea on how to create a good lynx.bat. 43 line mode works fine in the Win32 version as long as you start it that way. I am sure there will be questions, opinions, flames...they should ALL be sent to lynx-dev@sig.net since this is a real port.
