Lynx PROBLEMS file.

I hope that you will never have to read this, but inevitably problems
do arise.  As implimentation and installation problems become known
they will be outlined in this file.

    Links within documents of the type 'URL#selector' do not work
    when the document is specified like this: "file:/PATH/FILENAME"
    They will work if the document is specified like this:
    "file://localhost/PATH/FILENAME"

    Using "lynx -cache=1" may cause a crash due to a realloc error.
    Please use a cache larger than 1.

    Some systems, for example Ultrix, have different versions of the same
    program name on the system.  "mail" is an example of this.  If the
    /usr/bin/mail version of mail is used there is apparently no "-s" 
    option for the subject.  This is solved by using the /usr/ucb/mail
    program instead.  If you do use the /usr/bin/mail program, Lynx may
    crash when it attemps to send a message to the file owner.(so don't;-))

    The local execution links have been decided to be a security hole.  
    Because of the fact that remote links are written by possibly non-
    secure individuals, there is nothing to stop them from writing a 
    link such as <!rm -rf *> and erasing your files.  Therefore local
    execution links are turned off by default, but can be turned on with
    the '-exec' command line option.  If you are writing a hypertext 
    application and would like to use local execution links, please be 
    sure of the integrity of the information providers.  Another option
    '-locexec' will execute local execution links only in files that
    reside on the local machine.

    The screen resizeing is a little bit funny for WWW documents.  If
    you resize the screen, any WWW documents that have been cached will
    be out of whack.  Any further documents will look fine.  This is
    a curses program anyways, so resizeable terminals are not that common.
    On some systems (i.e. HP/UX) terminal resizing does not work at all.

    Many SUN systems have a broken resolver.  If you find that you cannot
    access remote documents and you are on a SUN system this may be you.
    Try "lynx http://128.141.201.74/default.html" to test whether you
    can access documents independent of your resolver.  If this works
    you should first try compiling with the "-lresolv" option.  (see
    the Makefile for details.)  If "-lresolv" doesn't work you will
    need to check with the SUN newsgroup for instructions on how to
    fix your resolver.
