Lynx PROBLEMS file.

Ideally you would never have to read this, but inevitably problems
do arise.  As implementation and installation problems become known
they will be outlined in this file.

    Control-Z on Unix can cause aberrant behavior.  If you encounter
    problems, use -restrictions=suspend to disable it, and only '!'
    for escapes to shell (on VMS control-Z is unconditional 'Q'uit,
    with no attempt to suspend the Lynx process only temporarily).

    Screen resizing can be a bit funny.  If you resize the screen, 
    documents that have been cached will be out of whack.  Any further 
    documents will look fine.  This is a curses program anyway, so 
    resizeable terminals are not that common.  On some systems 
    (i.e. HP/UX) terminal resizing does not work at all.
    You can reload documents to the current window size with CTRL-R

    On a Sun system, the message:
        "Alert!:  Unable to connect to remote host"
    will be displayed every time an attempt is made to access a host
    other than localhost if Lynx has been built without the resolv
    library and needed it, or with it and shouldn't have been.
    Unfortunately, there's no way to check in the Makefile whether
    -lresolve should be included in the LIBS="" list.  What's necessary
    depends on how that Sun is configured.  To get the build right for
    your SUN 3 or 4 OS, if you didn't have RESOLVLIB defined in the
    Makefile define it and build Lynx again, or vice versa.

    The Sun `shelltool' and `cmdtool' terminals are stupid by default.  
    In order to get bold text to appear differently than inverse video, 
    the user should put this line in ~/.Xdefaults:

        Term*boldStyle:         Offset_X

    From the `shelltool' man page, it seems that an analogous line 
    in ~/.defaults

        /Tty/Bold_style "Offset_X"

    ought to work just as well, but I you may not get the desired
    behavior until you modify your .Xdefaults file (and run `xrdb
    ~/.Xdefaults').  Note also that there are other supported values 
    for the boldStyle resource/Bold_style default, all of which begin 
    with "Offset_". (helpful hint from kevin@traffic.den.mmc.com)

    Directory browsing has been implemented for VMS, but there are no
    plans to port additional DIRED support, because Lynx must handle files
    as streams, and this precludes "serious" Directory/File Management on
    VMS.  Use a jumps file link to C SWING (sources or executables are
    available from ftp://narnia.memst.edu).

    If one switches between K)eypad "Numbers act as arrows" versus "Links
    are numbered" in the 'o'ptions menu when the current document is a
    DIRED menu in which links have been tagged, the tagging can be trashed
    (so don't switch at such times 8-).

    When "Links are numbered" is on, if a line is split on an anchor (to
    obey right margin restrictions), and there is no space in the bolded
    string such that the entire "[#]string" must be moved down, the "[#]"
    becomes bolded, instead on only "string".

    The Mosaic v2.5 hostlist uses HTML similar to that of Lynx's bookmark
    file, but with </UL></HTML> at the bottom, such that it is not fully
    compatible with Lynx's file.  If you try to use the Mosaic file as if
    it were a Lynx bookmark file, the </UL></HTML> will not be taken into
    account and new links will be added below rather than above those end
    tags.  Instead, add a link to the Mosaic file in your Lynx file, and
    to the Lynx file in your Mosaic file, so that you can access both files
    with both clients.

    SOCKSification, the -socks switch, and the IGNORE_CTRL_C compilation
    symbol have not yet been integrated with the slang library support.

    Code for resolving source and code URLs in OBJECT and SCRIPT tags
    has not yet been developed, and thus links for accessing them are
    not yet created in "clickable images" mode.
