+ +

+ +

Lynx is a fully-featured World Wide + Web (WWW) browser for users on Unix, VMS, and other + platforms running cursor-addressable, character-cell terminals or + emulators. That includes vt100 terminals, other character-cell + displays, and vt100 emulators such as Kermit or Procomm running + on PCs or Macs.

+ +

For information on how to use Lynx see the + Lynx User's Guide, or the + Lynx help files.

+ +

Credits and Copyright

+ +

Lynx was a product of the Distributed + Computing Group within Academic Computing Services of + The University of Kansas.

+ +

Lynx was originally developed by + Lou Montulli, Michael Grobe, and + Charles Rezac. + Garrett Blythe created + DosLynx and later joined the Lynx effort as + well. Following the departures of Lou and Garrett for positions + at Netscape in the summer of 1994, Craig Lavender + provided support services for Lynx, and + Ravikumar Kolli for DosLynx.

+ +

Lynx is maintained and supported by members + of the Internet community coordinated via the lynx-dev mailing list.

+ +

Lynx is derived from material copyrighted by + the University of Kansas. However most of the release (and + corresponding copyright) is the work of developers on the + lynx-dev mailing list. It + is distributed without restrictions on usage + or redistribution under the GNU General + Public License (Version 2).

+ +

Lynx was built over an early version of the + Common Code Library developed by the CERN WWW Project. That code + is copyrighted by CERN. Lynx contains other + sections of code that are copyrighted by other institutions or + individuals. The Lynx copyright does not + override or invalidate those copyrights.

+ +

Thanks to Tim + Berners-Lee and the other CERN World Wide Web + wizards for the WWW client library code and all of their + other work on the WWW project, NCSA and the + Mosaic developers, and to everyone out in netland who has + contributed to Lynx's development either + directly (through comments or bug reports) or indirectly (through + inspiration and development of other systems).

+ +

Also, special thanks go to Foteos Macrides who ported + much of Lynx to VMS and did much of its + development following Lou Montulli's and Garrett Blythe's + departures from the University of Kansas, and to Earl + Fogel of the University of Saskatchewan. Earl implemented + the hypertext engine HYPERREZ in the Unix environment. HYPERREZ + was developed by Niel Larson of Think.com and served as the model + for the early versions of Lynx which did not use + the WWW libraries and had their own hypertext format.

+ +

Availability

+ +

Information on obtaining the most current version of + Lynx is available via the Lynx homepage.
