Travis,
As expressed, this question is not for me, with your answers far afield
from the simple information sought.
on the lynx.browser.org page mac os x is listed as an option, with my
recalling a list member getting help using that edition for site testing.
However, that does not tell me what the current lynx edition is for mac,
which is the question I was asked.
best,
Karen

Been a while since I had a working mac, but last time I did, compiling one
from source was trivial, and caused no issues. (this is almost always how I
handle opensource software), especially since on mac, the macports they have
that is supposed to make things easier trashed my machine once, so I will
never use that particular cludge again. On the other hand, the lynx
download page does have various versions, though I don't know if there's one
there for mac or not.
As far as putting it into a section on the finder menus, that's easy enough
(assuming it hasn't changed), just use root access to copy the program to the
folder in question, and problem solved. On the other hand, since it's a
terminal program, you may need to create a script to launch it with the
particular environment you want, as I'm not sure if it picks up the terminal
defaults when being launched from finder.
Probably doesn't answer the question, but it may give enough for the original
poster to figure out what's necessary.

Hi folks,
A question from the voiceover list to which I belong.
I recall that there is a lynx compile for mac os X but am unsure of how
updated. Also can lynx be say added to the browser applications folder,
or must it be run in terminal?
Thanks,
Karen
