-This document suggests steps to install Lynx on OS/390 systems.
-
-========================================================================
-o Download the archive file lynx2-8-6.tar.Z in BINARY from the site
-  where you found this announcement or from a site listed at
-  http://lynx.isc.org/
-
-o Unpack with:
-
-	uncompress <lynx2-8-6.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 lynx2-8-6.zip in BINARY.
-
-o Unpack with:
-
-	unzip -aa lynx2-8-6.zip
-
-  The "-aa" 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" \
-	    ../lynx2-8-6/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=, --sysconfdir=, 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=../lynx2-8-6/lynx.cfg \
-	    ../lynx2-8-6/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.
