I have Lynx2-8 stumbling on MVS (actually, OS/390 1.2)
Requirements:
OpenEdition MVS
Serial terminal access (via e.g. rlogin, telnet)
gmake (Posix compliance breaks Lynx's makefile)
Things that work:
Basic screen display, including forms.
file:, http:, and ftp: URL access.
text and binary download to local files.
Things that don't work
Many of the named and numeric character entities
Any character set except default.
mailto: URLs
Things I haven't even tested:
Other URL schemes (gopher:, wais:, nntp:, etc.)
My patch is at:
Linkname: lynx.patch.os390.zip
URL: http://www.nyx.net/~pgilmart/lynx.patch.os390.zip
I'm eager for feedback.
