About 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 "cursor-oriented" display). It will display hypertext markup language (HTML) hypertext 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 UNIX, VMS and DOS.

Lynx is used in universities, libraries, freenets, and many other situations where there is a desire to bring the information of the World-Wide Web to as wide an audience as possible.

For More Information Please refer to the Lynx User's Guide.
