Re: lynx-dev Lynx and Virtual Hosts

On around 16­12­1999 5:29, Daniel Dawson, quoting Doug Kaufman, said

It appears the Lynxes at my immediate disposal are:

>Lynx Version 2-4-2
>(c)1995 University of Kansas

and

>Lynx Version 2.2
>(c)1994 University of Kansas

These are obviously old, but updating decisions are made by others on the 
relevant machines. This will also be a problem for people trying to visit 
my site (that they will be dependent upon sysadmins who may have 
priorities other than updating Lynx). At least it's nice to have 
confirmation that this a problem with older versions, and not just me 
being incompetent.


Thanks to all for your help,

Peter
