ABOUT LYNX
Lynx grew out of efforts to build a campus-wide information system
(CWIS) at The University of Kansas. Lynx clients provide a
user-friendly hypertext interface for users on UNIX and VMS platforms,
and allow information providers to publish information located on any
platform that can run a Gopher, HTTP, WAIS, FTP, or NNTP (USENET NEWS)
server. Providers retain complete control over their information, but
may receive comments and suggestions from users running Lynx on client
systems.
Lynx clients use the WWW hypertext format HTML.
