 I am a newbie on UnixWare and compiling files. I've only been using Unix 
for a month and I was completely lost until 2 weeks ago when I bought a
"Unix for Dummies" book ( $20 well spent ). 
 
My computer is a "dumb" terminal and the UnixWare system is provided to me
free of charge from "sleepy.giant.net". Suman is the person who processed 
my account with them. I telnet to "sleepy.giant.net" to work with 
UnixWare and my own Lynx 2.6 files stored there. 
 
If I came across as a person who knows what they are doing, I apologize 
for not being clear. I really don't have the foggiest on what I'm doing 
and Larry Virden's help got me this far. 
 
I can't wait for the GIANT.NET administrators to upgrade to Lynx 2.6 since 
the version they have now is very outdated and does not work well at all 
so I took the liberty to try it myself. 
 
If I can get Lynx2.6 going with no problems, I will then focus attention 
on pre-compiling Lynx 2.6 just like mine and then send it to the 
GIANT.NET administrators so they could have it installed system wide for 
other users on GIANT. 
 
This is a learning process, and quite frankly, I can see why some 
SysAdm's frown upon upgrading. It takes a lot of time and patience which 
detracts them from their other duties. 

Once again, I apologize for coming across as someone familiar with the 
environment. Truth is it's all new to me.

Sincerely,
Jason Sizemore
