lynx web browser

[Ed Hon]

Can someone give me a brief desc of this browser? Is there a binary available for HP-UX 11.0? Thanks.

This is a text based browser.

You can look at the HPUX software porting archive to see if binaries/depot exists for HPUX.

The porting archive:

This is text only browser. So fast. do not know any other details.

Get it from

I think the Utah site is down (or at least very slow in responding). Try here:

Just for completeness, I use lynx mainly in the form of

lynx -dump http://....

which gives you a fine ASCII version of the web page (easy to parse with perl)

for ascii-browsing it's fine, but if that's the aim, please also have a look at w3m, which is now capable of showing simple images in-line in color xterm. Astonishing simple, fast and efficient.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
