About Lynx

Lynx grew out of efforts to build a campus-wide information system (CWIS) at The University of Kansas. Lynx clients provide a user-friendly hypertext interface for users on a variety of platforms, and allow information providers to publish information located on any platform that can run a Gopher, HTTP, FTP, WAIS, or NNTP server. Providers retain complete control over their information, but may receive comments and suggestions from users running Lynx on client systems. Lynx was written by Lou Montulli at The University of Kansas

Lynx clients understand their own hypertext format and also the WWW hypertext format HTML.

Lynx can currently be obtained by anonymous ftp from ftp2.cc.ukans.edu in the pub/lynx directory

A listserv list has been created for information about Lynx and for notification of updates. The listserv is called:

lynx-dev@ukanaix.cc.ukans.edu.
You may sign-up by sending a "subscribe lynx-dev <your-name>" request to listserv@ukanaix.cc.ukans.edu. DO NOT send subscribe requests to the lynx-dev list itself.
