It is not included in the Lynx distribution as it is quite +large and freely available from: + ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/vms-libcmu/ckvlcmu.hex + +This is a hexified version of the LIBCMU.BCK saveset. + +All LIBCMU files (library and include files) are assumed to be in the +CMUIP_ROOT:[SYSLIB] directory. Ensure the following LIBCMU files are +placed appropriately on your system: + + cmuip_root:[syslib]ioctl.h + cmuip_root:[syslib]libcmu.olb + +Beyond this, follow the same INSTALLATION procedures that you would for any +VMS Lynx compilation. + +REMAINING PROBLEMS: + At this time, the FTP Lynx code does not appear to work; it is believed + that this problem is due to an as of yet unresolved problem with the + LIBCMU 1.2 library. The getsockname routine returns all zeros for the + local address portion and results in the system sending an invalid + PORT command to the remote end. + + Telnet, tn3270 and rlogin support are not yet implemented. + +Andy Harper +A.Harper@bay.cc.kcl.ac.uk |
