Lynx is a fully-featured World Wide Web (WWW) client for users running
|
|
cursor-addressable, character-cell display devices (e.g., vt100
|
|
terminals, vt100 emulators running on PCs or Macs, or any other
|
|
character-cell display). It will display Hypertext Markup Language
|
|
(HTML) documents containing links to files on the local system, as well
|
|
as files on remote systems running http, gopher, ftp, wais, nntp,
|
|
finger, or cso/ph/qi servers, and services accessible via logins to
|
|
telnet, tn3270 or rlogin accounts (see URL Schemes Supported by Lynx).
|
|
|
|
Lynx can be used to access information on the WWW, or to build
|
|
information systems intended primarily for local access. For example,
|
|
Lynx has been used to build several Campus Wide Information Systems
|
|
(CWIS). In addition, Lynx can be used to build systems isolated within a
|
|
single LAN.
