lynx-dev Re: LYNX (French Hospital) Help

[Al Gilman]

Alain,

I am copying your request to <address@hidden>.  Perhaps one of the
French-speaking users of Lynx on Sun will contact you offline.  

In any case, have you reviewed

        http://www.clark.net/pub/dickey/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html

??

Ncurses is not absolutely necessary for Lynx, however getting it may save
you trouble in the end.  It could help to know if someone is using Lynx
successfully with the native curses on a version of SunOS as close to yours
as we can.

As I understand it, installing ncurses is a job comparable to installing
Lynx but you will need to get the ncurses documentation to follow.  It is
not described in the Lynx installation instructions.

Some general information on Lynx and getting help with Lynx by email is
repeated at the foot.

                                    Lynx
                                      
   Lynx is a text browser for the World Wide Web.  Lynx 2.8.2 runs on
   Un*x, VMS, Windows 95/98/NT but not 3.1 or 3.11, on DOS (386 or
   higher) and OS/2 EMX.  The current developmental version is also
   available for testing.  Ports to Mac are in beta test.
   
     * How to get Lynx, and much more information, is available at Lynx
       links.
     * Many user questions are answered in the online help provided with
       Lynx. Press the '?' key to find this help.
     * If you are encountering difficulty with Lynx you may write to
       address@hidden  Be as detailed as you can about the URL where
       you were on the Web when you had trouble, what you did, what Lynx
       version you have (try '=' key), and what OS you have.  If you are
       using an older version, you may well need to upgrade.

                         The Lynx Development Process
                                       
   Lynx is maintained and improved by an international co-operative of
   volunteers.  Newcomers are welcome to join the group: you needn't be a
   super programmer, but you should be prepared to listen and learn, as
   well as to contribute patches if you can.  Since everyone is a

   volunteer, you will usually be expected to try to implement any
   suggestions you make.


                           Lynx-Dev Discussion List
                                       
   The developers communicate through a majordomo mailing list -- see
   below for details -- , which is open to interested users as well as
   programmers.  Topics include fixing bugs, increasing Lynx's tools and
   powers, meeting the ever-changing demands of the Internet and porting
   Lynx to new systems.
   
   Anyone may read what has been said on the list by visiting the
   Archive.
   
                         Development Versions of Lynx
                                       
   Besides releases, which are stable versions of Lynx which come out
   once or twice a year and can be obtained from the release site, there
   are development versions, which are experimental -- though usually
   stable enough to use -- and appear every few weeks, depending on
   current activity.  You can find the latest development version of Lynx
   by visiting the development site.

   If you are interested in joining the Lynx mailing list, send e-mail to
   address@hidden with only the following request in the body of your
   message:
   
     subscribe lynx-dev (e-address)
   
   where your e-address is optional if it can be obtained correctly from
   the mail headers of your subscription request.  You will need to answer
   one follow-up question to confirm you want to subscribe.  Majordomo
   will then enroll you and send all messages which you address to
   address@hidden to all subscribers; you will also receive all
   messages sent by other subscribers.
   
   NOTE: Subject headers are ignored when (un)subscribing.
   
                          Unsubscribing from Lynx-Dev
                                       
   To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to  address@hidden with only the
   following request in the body of your message:

   where your e-address is optional if it can be obtained correctly from
   the mail headers of your subscription request.
   
                               Casual Inquiries
                                       
   Anyone may ask a question or offer a comment by sending e-mail to the
   list.  Since all subscribers are volunteers, you depend on their
   goodwill and will be more likely to get a response if you give the
   e-mail a meaningful `Subject' and include details of your version of
   Lynx, hardware and software. You can check the Archive to find any
   responses.
   
   Messages from non-subscribers are not immediately distributed to avoid
   spam.  Usually, if your message appears genuine, it will be retrieved
   from the pile headed for the wastebasket within a day or so and
   distributed to the list.  For best results, subscribe as described
   above.
 
                              Majordomo Commands
                                       
   To receive a brief description of majordomo commands, send e-mail to
    address@hidden with only the following request in the body of
   your message:
   
     help
   
   You will receive by return e-mail a list of commands. Further
   information is available from the  majordomo website.
   
   If you have problems with majordomo not responding to requests, send
   e-mail to the list owner:  address@hidden  PLEASE DO NOT send
   them to address@hidden, where they would be distributed to everyone
   on the list, causing irritation by cluttering their mailboxes.
