LYNX-DEV On my last leg...

[Jason Sizemore]

I'm growing tired of working on trying to compile Lynx 2.6. Everytime, 
it's either the same errors or new errors and I now lack the time and the 
patience to deal with it. I'm on a system that it itself does not know 
what it is!! 
 
Unless the GIANT SysAdm's finally let their hair down and upgrade, or if 
I can use their ancient "This Hypertext Document not available at this 
time" version of Lynx and find a Pre-Compiled UnixWare Lynx2.6 binary 
somewhere ( which will be a bite in the ass considering the faulty version 
of Lynx already installed, and the simple fact that I have only recieved 
ONE E-Mail message since my whole time on GIANT and wont ever recieve 
another one because the I'm considered "user unknown" by the Sender's 
Mailer Daemon ) on FTP or HTTP, then I might have a little luck. 

 If that does not work, I going to have to bug the GIANT SysAdm's on 
either a full system upgrade, or for them to provide any and all 
information in detail what I would need to do to do it myself. If that is 
fruitless, my GIANT account will be terminated and I will find someother 
service that listens (or if Netscape somehow miraculously becomes 
available for IBM XT Turbos).
 
Pardon me for sounding "George Carlin-esque", but the Internet is 
referered to as "The Information SuperHighway". How can this be when some 
pages "restrict" their information unless you happen to have a $2000 
unit, a good paying job, and either Internet Ex-Horror or Net-scrape, 
Java, Frames, or any kind of new gadget that makes the "SuperHighway" 
easier to surf but slower than Pepto-Bismal?! It sounds like a kingdom 
against itself??? (That's what some of these people WISH you had). 

Upgrading computers is easier said than done, and I'm not so sure I would 
want to upgrade since watching a Pentium open up a lot of GIF's for a 
single WebPage makes my arteries harden.

I'll stick to a "dumb" terminal and Lynx, and I wish to thank everyone 
involved with Lynx-Dev and to those that have helped me try to get this 
going, even though the results were fruitless ( Larry Virden, Thanh Ma, 
Hiram, and everyone else ). 
 
I'm not bitter over a wasted month - I'm happy. It was an experiance I 
needed. And anyway, I will always have more time than money! =)

Thanks, Everyone & with luck, the tree might just bare some fruit soon.

Sincerely,
