The Lynx full screen browser

This is a hypertext browser for UNIX, VMS, Win32/DOS386, etc., using full screen, arrow keys, highlighting, etc. Also useful in scripts as a way to fetch the source code or a nicely formatted text version of a document on the web, Lynx is the best choice for text-based browsing in this author's opinion. More information is available at the primary Lynx distribution site: SLCC.EDU The canonical Lynx site is http://lynx.browser.org.
