lynx-2.6.ncurses.README 
September 1996

This archive (lynx-2.6.ncurses.NIHS.tar.gz) contains an Installer.app
package for lynx v2.6.  This software is location dependant, so it insists
on installing to /usr/local (if you need it somewhere else, you'll need to
recompile).  This version of lynx was built to use ncurses (version
1.9.9e), which implies you must have the terminfo terminal definitions
installed (lynx will look in /usr/gnu/lib/terminfo by default, else define
the env variable TERMINFO to point to the actual location).


From the README:

WHAT IS LYNX?

   Lynx is a fully-featured World Wide Web (WWW) client for users running
   cursor-addressable, character-cell display devices (e.g., vt100
   terminals, vt100 emulators running on PCs or Macs, or any other
   "curses-oriented" display). It will display hypertext markup language
   (HTML) documents containing links to files residing on the local
   system, as well as files residing on remote systems running Gopher,
   HTTP, FTP, WAIS, and NNTP servers. Current versions of Lynx run on
   Un*x and VMS.
   
   Lynx can be used to access information on the World Wide Web, or to
   build information systems intended primarily for local access. For
   example, Lynx has been used to build several Campus Wide Information
   Systems (CWIS). In addition, Lynx can be used as a shell interface for
   beginning users.
