  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.
    Reported by Osma Ahvenlampi <Osma.Ahvenlampi@hut.fi>

  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)
