Hi, I am using lynx to view edit local HTML files.
Thanks for the responses I have now solved my problem, basically the
fork
program
that converts unix names to qdos is not found by lynx unless it is
on the
qdos
default program device. There does not seem to be a system variable
to set
Hi,
Help if possible please. I am using lynx 2.8.2 on QPC2. Previously I had it
set up to use QD to edit the html file within but now this facility has

fork Win1/PRG/QD98/QD
which the correct path. I think I must have

Lynx is GPL license and you should include the source.
Perhaps the answer is to unzip on a linux box, change the directory names to
shorter ones and zip it up again.
Probably breaks terms of licence in much the same way and certainly fouls up
replacement should Jonathan update it.
What I've
The answer is to create two zip files, one with the runtime version and
one with the sources etc - we know the second one will not unzip on the QL
properly. Then zip these two zip files together - so there is ONE
download.
The user can unzip on the PC and then access the runtime zip

But I can already hear the whining but I can't adapt my application
to use the new traps as then it wouldn't be QDOS compatible anymore,
so I probably just don't bother. Not trying to discourage anybody
else, of course, it's just my view of things.

The whole situation
I've put a minimal runtime-only Lynx 2.8.2. onto my website as per the email I
sent last night.
I've been asked to make clear that it should be installed in win1_L_ (i.e.
directory called letter L in lower case rather than the number 1, which might
not be clear from some character sets).

No, binary only is fine. A separate ZIP with the sources or a link to
the original combined ZIP is good enough (and even that is not
strictly necessary).

It starts off overwriting its own files as you unzip them because the
path names are stored too long. Classic example of an author supplying a
