Hence I decided to put in my two-cents worth. Most of the pages here will apply to general Lynx users but there are some Win32-specfic information and terms. Although I have tried to include as much as I can and explain things, I am sure that there will be some questions as well as mistakes. All questions regarding the workings of Lynx should go to the Lynx-Dev Group as they are the ones that support this software. Lynx is a World Wide Web browser, just like Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator and a horde of other programs.
Lynx is the most popular text-only browser in the world.
Lynx first started life as a UNIX application, written by the University of Kansas as part of their campus-wide information system. In time, it became a gopher client, then a WWW browser. Lynx was released to the public under the GNU General Public License of the Free Software Foundation, Inc . Lynx, in its Win32 port, is a console program. That means it is a text-mode program that runs in a DOS box.
