Good day, I am a new user to Lynx and I am having a problem grabbing a typical text file from the net with minimal interaction. I downloaded the linx for Win32 systems. My Op system is Win2k Pro, my hardware is a IBM Think Pad Notebook. I installed a virtual packet driver [swsvpkt.exe ] which seems to work ok. I am connected to a broadband ADSL service.
I unzipped the download [ lynx_w32.2.8.2rel1.zip ] and extracted the files to a folder C:\lynxnt . I setup a batch file "windgrab.bat" in this folder and it contains the following:: @echo off echo Now downloading USA Low Level Winds Time Period 1 swsvpkt.exe set home=c:\lynxnt set temp=c:\lynxnt\tmp set lynx_cfg=c:\lynxnt\lynx.cfg lynx.exe http://aviationweather.gov/products/nws/winds/?area=all&fint=06&lvl=lo My configuration file [lynx.cfg ] content in the folder c:\lynxnt is as follows: SAVE_SPACE:C:\LYNXNT\TMP When I invoke the batch file windgrab.bat from the desktop, it seems to go to the correct site and displays the data that I wish to save to my hard disk. When I press 'd' it says it is retreiving the file. But, nowhere is to be found any output file in either my c:\lynxnt folder or in the folder c:\lynxt\tmp My arrow keys do not seem to be navigating the lynx program properly and when i press "H" for help it says this is "Forbidden". When I scroll up to the top of the lynx window it says : Suggested File Name= ?area=all#contents Satndard Download Options Save to Disk It would be appreciated if someone could suggest what needs to be done here. My only objective here is to save the retreived file to my hard disk. Thanking you in advance Don MacLean please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
