*************************************************************************
o This is a port. Don't expect everthing to work!
o AmiTCP-Version (ALynx) works fine with AmiTCP and MLink
o AS225-Version (Alynx_AS225) works fine with AS225r2 or I-Net 225 but
doesn't work with MLink.

o files needed:
AMITCP:db/Lynx.cfg or INET:db/Lynx.cfg or PROGDIR:Lynx.cfg
ENV:Mosaic/mailcap (configurable via Lynx.cfg)
ENV:Mosaic/mime.types (configurable via Lynx.cfg)
o To use a simple curses-screen type
1> ; call alynx on own screen (WB clone)
1> alynx -term screen http://taa.dah.com
or set the environmentvar CURSESTYPE to SCREEN
1> ; use own screen
1> setenv CURSESTYPE screen
ALynx runs in a CLI-Shell-Window (amigados/bbs) by default.
To force it to ANSI-mode:
1> alynx -term ansi http://taa.dah.com
or
1> ; run in this shellwindow
1> setenv CURSESTYPE ANSI
o If your shell doesn't set the environment-variables LINES & COLS
use ReSize which is included in the ALynx archive.
o until now no DIRED-support
o BBS-Sysops:
Be careful by installing ALynx on a non-MuFS-BBS-System!!!
There is no fileprotection in ALynx. I don't take any responsibility
if someone trashes your local filesystem. Lynx is designed to work
in a protected Unix/VMS-filesystem. I'll try to fix this, but this
is really hard work. If you find any holes, TELL ME!
o There is, and there will never be direct inline-gfx/mouse-support
What works: (reported by several people)
o AUTH
o Proxy
o almost everything
o e-mail
o ftp, gopher
Todo:
o DIRED
o more colors (this IS heavy stuff)
