Hello, Lyncei,
Since OS/390 is at least as weird as VMS, I'd like to add some special
instructions and caveats in a doc/OS-390.announce file. Patch
enclosed.
Editorial emendations welcome. I hope this isn't considered "new
development". :-) A few filenames in the text anticipate the
released version by extrapolating from the previous version.
Thanks,
gil

+This document suggests steps to install Lynx on OS/390 systems.
+
+========================================================================
+o Download the archive file lynx2-8-2.tar.Z in BINARY from the site
+ where you found this announcement or from a site listed at
+ http://lynx.browser.org/
+
+o Unpack with:
+
+ uncompress <lynx2-8-2.tar.Z | pax -rv -o to=IBM-1047
+
+ The "-o to=IBM-1047" is needed to convert the ASCII archive
+ to EBCDIC. You must not download as a text file; the conversion
+ must be performed after the uncompress.
+
+========================================================================
+o Alternatively, download the PKZIPped archive lynx2-8-2.zip in BINARY.
+
+o Unpack with:
+
+ unzip -a lynx2.8.2.zip
+
+ The "-a" is needed to convert the ASCII archive
+ to EBCDIC. (unzip is not shipped with OS/390. You can
+ obtain it from:
+
+ Linkname: OS/390 UNIX - Tools and Toys
+ URL: http://www.s390.ibm.com/unix/bpxa1ty1.html
+
+ Linkname: Info-ZIP zip and unzip
+ URL: http://www.s390.ibm.com/ftp/os390/oe/port/infozip-os390.tar.Z
+ )
+
+========================================================================
+o Run the configure script:
+
+ mkdir -p ./OS390/.
+ cd ./OS390
+ rm -f config.cache
+ CC=c89 CFLAGS="-D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1 -D_ALL_SOURCE" \
+ ../lynx2-8-2/configure
+
+ The definitions select the ANSI C compiler (c89) and options
+ to select the right header file directories. You may also
+ find it useful to set the installation directories with
+ the --prefix=, --libdir=, and --exec_prefix= options.
+
+========================================================================
+o Build Lynx
+
+ gmake
+
+ (I have been unable to build Lynx with IBM's make. gmake is not
+ shipped with OS/390. You may obtain gmake from:
+
+ Linkname: Mortice Kern Systems (MKS) Inc. - S/390 ®
+ OpenEdition--GNU Utilities
+ URL: http://www.mks.com/s390/gnu/index.htm
+
+ Linkname: Other
+ URL: http://www.mks.com/s390/gnu/register.htm
+ )
+
+========================================================================
+o Test Lynx:
+
+ ./lynx -cfg=../lynx2-8-2/lynx.cfg \
+ ../lynx2-8-2/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html
+
+========================================================================
+o Install Lynx:
+
+ gmake install
+ gmake install-help
+ gmake install-doc
+
+========================================================================
+REMAINING PROBLEMS:
+
+ 3270-type terminals are not supported. This is probably a
+ permanent restriction since curses support for 3270s is
+ unlikely to appear.
+
+ URL schemes other than HTTP:, FTP:, and FILE: are untested
+ and likely not to work.
+
+ Some character entities are not rendered correctly.
+
+ The Download command converts binary files from ASCII to EBCDIC.
+ This can be undone by a download filter in lynx.cfg.
