The recent discussion of link highlighting interested me:
I tried some time ago to compile lynx 2.8.something so that
I could get to the only secure site I have so far wanted to
visit.... Turns out I also needed Java, so I went back to
2.7.2, because...every link showed up in reverse video.
When I built 2.7.2 I had a similar problem. I have a vague
memory of something to do with ncurses, of having actually
to modify either a configuration or header file. Of course,
like a good non-programmer I did not bother to document what
I did, and since I barely understood whatever it was I have
little hope of reproducing it logically.
What I'm leading up to: 2.7.2 gives me the desired
behavior: only the selected link gets highlighted; the
others show up in bold. The discussion has left me confused
(no smart comments, please ;-} ): do later versions of lynx
offer this behavior? If so, how do I obtain it? If I have to
modify a terminfo or termcap entry, someone will have to
babytalk me through _that_.
Ancient slackware distribution, kernel 2.0.36, ncurses 1.9.9e.
If you deduce that I hate to upgrade, congratulations!
On a completely unrelated topic, when I go to
http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/
and "click on"
"Searching the Lynx-Dev Archives",
which is supposedly at
http://www.crl.com/%7Esubir/lynx/search-archives.html
I get the dreaded "404 Not Found" message. I get a similar
result from the first link on that page
"lynx-dev"
This behavior is new to me; I had no problem the last time I
went snuffling through old lynx-dev emails....
(I have no problem with the links, "HTML format" and
"Mailbox format" and "Old archives"--the flora.org links.
Have the others also migrated to flora?
