For this cdrom, I tested/updated using accounts provided by Jerry Leslie (VAX
with OpenVMS 7.1), as well as the HP test-drive (Alpha with OpenVMS 7.3, IA64
with OpenVMS 8.2).

There are three executables which have been built for the cdrom.  They are
linked with UCX 4.2, 5.4 and 5.5 for the VAX, Alpha and IA64, respectively.
Each is also linked with zlib 1.1.3, which allows you to view gzip'd files
from the local file-browser.

The freeware_demo.com script assumes you are running it from a terminal
window.  It runs lynx from the package.

The freeware_demo.com script will construct a temporary configuration to
run lynx to browse your home directory.  If you have a network connection,
it should be able to connect and display pages from other machines.  But
for a demonstration, the file browser, with help (type "?") and options
menu (type "o") show a lot of lynx's functionality.

For anything more complicated, you should read the INSTALLATION file
from the source distribution.  But just to see things run, this is the
minimum you have to do:

	+ define a logical variable LYNX_DIR

	+ copy lynx.cfg from the source distribution to LYNX_DIR:lynx.cfg

	  Rather than doing this, the demo script sets the LYNX_CFG
	  variable to point to a small configuration file that
	  includes the one from the source distribution.  It also
	  constructs a pointer to the help-files in the source
	  distribution.  The help-files can reside anywhere on your
	  filesystem, but lynx uses a URL rather than a VMS-style
	  pathname to access them.

	+ define a foreign command to point to the executable, e.g.,
	  (assuming you have unzip'd the executable in your login
	  directory):

		lynx :== "$ sys$login:lynx.exe"

	+ run it (to test) on the current directory:

		lynx .

	  To run it over the network, of course, you'll need a network
	  connection.

But read the INSTALLATION file for more details.
