platforms running cursor-addressable, character-cell terminals or
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
emulators. That includes vt100 terminals, other character-cell
|
|
Packit |

Lynx was built over an early version of the

Common Code Library developed by the CERN WWW Project. That code

is copyrighted by CERN. Lynx contains other

Mosaic developers, and to everyone out in netland who has
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
contributed to Lynx's development either
|

Packit |
f574b8 |
directly (through comments or bug reports) or indirectly (through

inspiration and development of other systems).

Also, special thanks go to Foteos Macrides who ported
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
much of Lynx to VMS and did much of its
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
development following Lou Montulli's and Garrett Blythe's
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
departures from the University of Kansas, and to Earl
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
Fogel of the University of Saskatchewan. Earl implemented
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
the hypertext engine HYPERREZ in the Unix environment. HYPERREZ
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
was developed by Niel Larson of Think.com and served as the model
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
for the early versions of Lynx which did not use
|
|
Packit |
f574b8 |
the WWW libraries and had their own hypertext format.
