That includes VT100 terminals, +and desktop-based software packages emulating VT100 terminals (e.g., +Kermit, Procomm, etc.). + +<P>For information on how to use Lynx see the +<A HREF="../lynx_help/Lynx_users_guide.html">Lynx User's Guide</A>, or the +<A HREF="../lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html">Lynx help files</A>. + +<H2><EM>Credits and Copyright</EM></H2> + +Lynx was a product of the Distributed Computing Group within +Academic Computing Services of <A +HREF="http://www.cc.ukans.edu/index.html">The University of Kansas</A>. + +<P>Lynx was originally developed by +<A HREF="http://www.cc.ukans.edu/cwis/people/Lou.Montulli.html" +>Lou Montulli,</A> +<A HREF="http://www.cc.ukans.edu/cwis/people/Michael.Grobe/Michael.Grobe.html" +>Michael Grobe,</A> +and <A HREF="http://www.cc.ukans.edu/cwis/people/Charles.Rezac.html" +>Charles Rezac.</A> +<A HREF="http://www.cc.ukans.edu/cwis/people/Garrett/Garrett_Arch_Blythe.html" +>Garrett Blythe</A> created +<A HREF="http://www.cc.ukans.edu/about_doslynx/doslynx.html">DosLynx</A> +and later joined the Lynx effort as well. Following the departures of +Lou and Garrett for positions at Netscape in the summer of 1994, +<EM>Craig Lavender</EM> provided support services for Lynx, and +<EM>Ravikumar Kolli</EM> for DosLynx. + +<P>Currently Lynx is being maintained and supported by members of the +Internet community coordinated via the +<A HREF="#lynx-dev_list"><EM>lynx-dev mailing list</EM></A>. + +<P>Lynx is copyrighted by the University of Kansas and is distributed +<A HREF="COPYHEADER">without restrictions on usage or redistribution</A> +under the <A HREF="COPYING">GNU General Public License</A>. + +<P>Lynx was built over an early version of the Common Code Library +developed by the CERN WWW Project.

Earl implemented +the hypertext engine HYPERREZ in the Unix environment. HYPERREZ was +developed by Niel Larson of Think.com and served as the model for +the early versions of Lynx which did not use the WWW libraries and +had their own hypertext format. + +<H2><A NAME="availability"><EM>Availability</EM></A></H2> + +<p>Information on obtaining the most current version of Lynx is +available via <a href="http://www.crl.com/~subir/lynx.html" +>Lynx links</a>. + +<H2><A NAME="lynx-dev_list"><EM>Mailing List</EM></A></H2> + +We have a listserv mailing list running for lynx development discussion. +If you are interested in joining the list, follow this <A +HREF="lynx-dev.html">link</A>.
