Hi everyone,
Well, since Bela has blown my cover, I guess I'll come out of
hiding and introduce myself. I'm Faith Zack (the "Mob Psychologist"
is from an old quote by one of SCO's founder's Doug Michels who
said something about the software industry being like a giant
mob running after this and that latest trend, and if you can just
sit back and figure out where they are going to run next & get out
in front of them, you can be a leader). Helping me on the project
is Yaping Chen (address@hidden) who will probably doing most of
the lynx related work.
As Bela said, we will be using lynx in our next Unix product to
provide character access to the online HTML documentation. (which
includes man pages and help). We also plan to use lynx -dump as
an html2ascii filter for our man command.
It seems fairly straightforward to add catopen to the LYMessages.h
file as described by Alan and Andrew. The next burning question
I have is will lynx handle multibyte localization (and multibyte HTML
documents, for that matter). We do have Japanese localization to
worry about. From the CHANGES notes we see that "eliminated all
printw() calls to avoid problems with non-ASCII and/or
multibyte/CJK characters", but it is not clear if lynx2-7
does support multibytes.
By the way, thanks for all the great work in getting Lynx to where
it is today. I was really pleasantly surprised to find that
frames are now supported. I've heard tables are in the works too,
which will help us since we currently ship both netscape and ASCII
versions of each table, and play nasty games to get the right one
displayed (with moderate success).
