Ok, recompiled lynx 2-3-7 (make linux-ncurses) with some changes to
userdefs.h related to lynxexec, and it works fine from a local machine or
when you telnet into the machine and run it, BUT when you dialin to the unix
box and run the recompiled lynx we get the following message:

                Got a segmentation violation signal,
                cleaning up and exiting
                Floating Point exception

Then you are returned to the unix prompt and able to continue with other
things but no lynx.

We are using agetty for dialin.

        Linux 1.1.59

        Any suggestions ?

Make sure you have a terminfo database entry for the TERM type you are
dialed in through.  If curses can not initialise the terminal.. it will
produce that problem

I don't want to encourage these silly people who think the Lynx Web
browser is an Operating System (this newsgroup is called 'comp.os.lynx'.
think about it), but is the Linux curses package so braindead that it
SEGVs if TERM is set to something bogus?

I think I will create a new Web browser and call it 'qnx'.  Hey, Dan,
what do you think?

This would only be worthwhile if you could also convince Atari to rename
one of it's game machines.  :-)

Seriously though, we also used to have name association problems of a sort.
Back when we were called Quantum Software Systems, people though we made
disk drives or something....  Renaming the company after the product
helped.

And the motherboard manufacturer as well.

However, the real threat seems to be the Web folks.  The Atari Lynx folks
(mostly) got chased out pretty quick and were not as persistent as the
Web Lynx folks. :-)

But, what if it were called QuantumOS?  Quantum, the disk drive company,
wasn't around when QNX chose its name, right?  I guess Lynx is just
gonna have to live with the problem.

What's even worse, Alan, is that these guys probably don't even realize
that they are cross-posting. I thought when you caused this group to
be created the name was quite specific as to its purpose. Lest we digress...
