I hardly ever run lynx locally, because I access the net via a shell-acct; thus, I use *their* lynx to do that.
A day or two ago I had to use lynx locally; I tried to use the one included with Solaris-9's compatibility software, under .../sfw/..., but upon running it, it crashed, saying that I couldn't find needed file libncurses.so.5, which I somehow don't have. So, I tried an old version that I had, lynx 2.7.1ac-0.58, on which "ls -l" said 1997 (ie, when I installed it). So it's old. Very old. Anyway, when I run it, it displays to the right of most lines a large block of BLACK. Sometimes this black extends only a little bit to the right, maybe 10 chars worth, sometimes maybe 20 or 30 or 40 or more. And no, they don't all extend to the same "column" on the screen -- jagged on the left, jagged on the right, with no apparent reason. Here's my question: does anyone recall that years ago lynx behaved like this? (If no, then there's a chance that a *new* lynx might do the same, ie that it's my problem locally, eg perhaps how I (incorrectly) run dtterm. (note: it gives the same behavior when I invoke it with -bg=black). But if yes, it once did work like that, and got fixed, well, that's my problem -- get the new version (from sun) -- and somehow that missing file, too. Or I could just try to download the current .tar.gz, and build my own. So, does anyone recall this bad behavior?) Thanks! David ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
