Introduction

   This is an EMX port of  Lynx built straight from  the original tarball. It
   was statically linked  against zlib v 1.2.3 and ncurses v 5.5, with almost
   every experimental option enabled.

   System requirements:

   * OS/2 v 3.00 with Fixpak XR_W017 or later
   * A partition with long filename support (HPFS, JFS, Ext2FS, etc.)
   * IBM TCP/IP v 2.00 or later
   * EMX runtime v 0.9d or later
   * GNU File Utilities
   * An image viewer such as PMView to handle images


Installation

   To install Lynx, copy the executable along with runtime DLLs somewhere and
   set up environment variables:

   TERMINFO      must point to your terminfo  directory (use the one from the
                 distribution if you don't have any)
   TERM          must contain a terminal name (TERM=ansi is a good default)
   LYNX_CFG      specifies configuration filename
   LYNX_LSS      specifies color scheme filename
   LYNX_HELPFILE specifies help index (<path>/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html)

   Note that this build requires PMWIN.DLL for clipboard support and hence is
   nowhere as compact as the pre-PM, pre-SSL Lynx 2.7 ports.


Patch(es)

   *  justify-elts-patch: alters the justification algorithm to obtain even
      text spacing.
   *  htfile-binary-patch: uses binary mode for local files accessed using
      "file://" unless they belong to a known text type (fixes CR/LF
      mishandling).
