lynx-dev Making download and print work under Windos

[Victor Schneider, Ph. D.]

If you define the Dos 'copy' command as a downloading method in lynx.cfg:

DOWNLOADER:Copy the file to another location:copy /B /V %s  %s:TRUE

you find it doesn't work.


If you change the definition of DOWNLOADER as follows:

DOWNLOADER:Copy the file to another location:echo %s  %s > copyit.txt:TRUE

You get the following as the contents of copyit.txt after a test download:

/c:/download/DOSLINUX.TXT  \temp\DOSLINUX.TXT

P. S.: A useful addition to lynx.cfg is the following:

PRINTER:Windows printer:notepad /p %s:TRUE
