Alain,
I am copying your request to <address@hidden>. Perhaps one of the
French-speaking users of Lynx on Sun will contact you offline.
In any case, have you reviewed
http://www.clark.net/pub/dickey/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html
??
Ncurses is not absolutely necessary for Lynx, however getting it may save
you trouble in the end. It could help to know if someone is using Lynx
successfully with the native curses on a version of SunOS as close to yours
as we can.
As I understand it, installing ncurses is a job comparable to installing
Lynx but you will need to get the ncurses documentation to follow. It is
not described in the Lynx installation instructions.
Some general information on Lynx and getting help with Lynx by email is
repeated at the foot.

Lynx
Lynx is a text browser for the World Wide Web. Lynx 2.8.2 runs on
Un*x, VMS, Windows 95/98/NT but not 3.1 or 3.11, on DOS (386 or
higher) and OS/2 EMX. The current developmental version is also
available for testing. Ports to Mac are in beta test.
* How to get Lynx, and much more information, is available at Lynx
links.
* Many user questions are answered in the online help provided with
Lynx. Press the '?' key to find this help.
* If you are encountering difficulty with Lynx you may write to
address@hidden Be as detailed as you can about the URL where
you were on the Web when you had trouble, what you did, what Lynx
version you have (try '=' key), and what OS you have. If you are
using an older version, you may well need to upgrade.

The Lynx Development Process
Lynx is maintained and improved by an international co-operative of
volunteers. Newcomers are welcome to join the group: you needn't be a
super programmer, but you should be prepared to listen and learn, as
well as to contribute patches if you can. Since everyone is a
volunteer, you will usually be expected to try to implement any
suggestions you make.
Lynx-Dev Discussion List
The developers communicate through a majordomo mailing list -- see
below for details -- , which is open to interested users as well as
programmers. Topics include fixing bugs, increasing Lynx's tools and
powers, meeting the ever-changing demands of the Internet and porting
Lynx to new systems.
Anyone may read what has been said on the list by visiting the
Archive.
Development Versions of Lynx
Besides releases, which are stable versions of Lynx which come out
once or twice a year and can be obtained from the release site, there
are development versions, which are experimental -- though usually
stable enough to use -- and appear every few weeks, depending on
current activity. You can find the latest development version of Lynx
by visiting the development site.
Subscribing to Lynx-Dev
If you are interested in joining the Lynx mailing list, send e-mail to
address@hidden with only the following request in the body of your
message:
subscribe lynx-dev (e-address)
where your e-address is optional if it can be obtained correctly from
the mail headers of your subscription request. You will need to answer
one follow-up question to confirm you want to subscribe. Majordomo
will then enroll you and send all messages which you address to
address@hidden to all subscribers; you will also receive all
messages sent by other subscribers.
NOTE: Subject headers are ignored when (un)subscribing.
Unsubscribing from Lynx-Dev
To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to address@hidden with only the
following request in the body of your message:
unsubscribe lynx-dev (e-address)
where your e-address is optional if it can be obtained correctly from
the mail headers of your subscription request.
Casual Inquiries
Anyone may ask a question or offer a comment by sending e-mail to the
list. Since all subscribers are volunteers, you depend on their
goodwill and will be more likely to get a response if you give the
e-mail a meaningful `Subject' and include details of your version of
Lynx, hardware and software. You can check the Archive to find any
responses.
Messages from non-subscribers are not immediately distributed to avoid
spam. Usually, if your message appears genuine, it will be retrieved
from the pile headed for the wastebasket within a day or so and
distributed to the list. For best results, subscribe as described
above.
Majordomo Commands
To receive a brief description of majordomo commands, send e-mail to
address@hidden with only the following request in the body of
your message:
help
You will receive by return e-mail a list of commands. Further
information is available from the majordomo website.
If you have problems with majordomo not responding to requests, send
e-mail to the list owner: address@hidden PLEASE DO NOT send
them to address@hidden, where they would be distributed to everyone
on the list, causing irritation by cluttering their mailboxes.
The Lynx-Dev Archive
Messages posted to lynx-dev are archived in html format so that you
can view them using Lynx: go to the HTML Archive.
