Re: [Lynx-dev] changing lynx default homepage from the comand line?
A very good BSD (Unix) shell can be found at sdf.org. You have free usage of Lynx and Links, if you pay a small charge, you con configure your home account and adds a lot of Unix programs like Mutt, Alpine and SLRN. The only problem is that there are no modern SSH program for MS-DOS that can access it (authentication problems). You can still log to sdf.org using MS-DOS by Telnet. I regularly do it with a 80286 with a 720 KBy floppy running MS-DOS 2.11 Another free limited shell with Lynx. Links and eLinks is lynx.scramworks.net.

Re: [Lynx-dev] reaching gmail in basic html?
That's correct. I think it's not important if the account is new or old. It depends how you logged out the last time with a graphical browser.

Re: [Lynx-dev] reaching gmail in basic html?
Karen: You have to log once to gmail.com with any "normal" browser (Chromium, Chrome, Firefox). Select "basic HTML" at the bottom, and exit from the gmail account. When you enter gmail with Links or Lynx, you will see that it asks you to enable JavaScript. Just continue login. Very important: you have to enter the password twice. I don't use any special program in MS-DOS. Just log to gmail.com with a text browser, and do all my email in HTML. I see you have a UNIX shell account. I can also read my gmail email with Lynx for BSD in my shell account at SDF.ORG.

Re: [Lynx-dev] lynx and amazon?
Karen: I use LYNX ver 2.9.0dev.1 in my MSDOS computer with a 40MHz Cyrix 486DLC and 8 MBy RAM and yellow Hercules monitor. Works great. Alejandro Lieber A port for MSDOS, by Juán Manuel Guerrero: "This is a port of Lynx 2.9.0dev.4 to MSDOS/DJGPP. DJGPP specific changes. === This port is based on the current develop code of lynx (aka lynx2.9.0dev.4) available as: https://invisible-mirror.net/archives/lynx/tarballs/lynx-cur.tar.bz2 The code has been adjusted to detect at runtime if LFN support is available or not. If LFN support is available then the original posix style file names will be used else DOS compatible ones will be used. The port will use cp850 as default code page instead of using iso-8859-1 as it is in the current code. It is clear that having iso-8859-1 on plain DOS as character set is useless as soon as spanish, german or other non-english texts shall be displayed. You can always select another character set by either setting the corresponding environment variable or by editing lynx.cfg acordingly. The current version of lynx requires that the HOME environment variable is set to a writable directory or it will refuse to start. To alleviate this situation, if HOME is not set, the current directory will be used instead by this port version. The port has been configured using the configure script provided by the source package. This means that neither old DJGPP specific scripts nor makefiles distributed by the package have been used. A lot of the porting work has been invested in the DJGPP specific configuration scripts. This port has been configured to be compiled with BZIP2, ZIP and PDCURSES support. This means that if you want to recompile the preconfigured sources you must have installed the following ports: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2apps/bz2-106ar2.zip ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/zlb1211b.zip ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/pdcur38a.zip The port has been configured and build without NLS support enabled. To enable this feature, the latest ports of libiconv and gettext must be installed: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/licv116b.zip ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/gtxt201b.zip If you prefer NLS, then reconfigure the sources passing the nls flag to the config.bat file. The port has been configured with OPENSSL support. OpenSSL support requires installing the WATT-32 port. The following ports have been used: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/ssl102sb.zip ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/wat3211b.zip No other versions have been tested. To be able to use this program compiled with OpenSSL and WATT-32 a noise source must be installed. A noise source can be obtained as: http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/noise063a2.zip If for some reason you decide to reconfigure the source package, then you will have to set the WATT_ROOT environment variable to point to the directory where the headers and the library reside. This is: set WATT_ROOT=/dev/env/DJDIR/net/watt To be able to run the program, configuration files are expected to be found at their canonical place. This is the /dev/env/DJDIR/etc directory. The configuration files lynx.cfg and lynx.css are stored in the /etc directory and reflect, to certain extent, the conditions during the configuration and compilation process of this port. You may need to adjust the entries to fit your requiriments. If lynx.cfg and lynx.css are not found at their canonical place then the program will try to load them from the installation directory of lynx. To run the program, a working version of wattcp.cfg is required. This file is __NOT__ distributed with this port. That file will reflect your network environment and hardware. It is the user's job write one that matches his environment. As a starting point you can use the one distributed with the WATT-32 port. Please note that the location of wattcp.cfg must be specified by setting the WATTCP.CFG environment variable. This can be done either in the environment, in autoexec.bat or in djgpp.env. If the file cannot be found at any of the canonical places the program will try to load it from the installation directory of lynx. To be able to run the program, a DOS packet driver (PKTDRVR) is required. This may be obtained from the card manufacturer or from one of the archives of packet drivers (such as "http://www.lanet.lv/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html; or "http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/pktdrvr/;). Even when only browsing local files, a NULLPKT packet driver is required like nullpkt.zip.
