lynx is a curses-mode World Wide Web client. Think of it as the
non-Motif version of Mosaic (it's that good, IMHO). It's used on
non-X and slow-X UNIX and VMS sites all over the world, and has become
something of `the implementation of choice' for anonymous remote
library/information systems and `FreeNet's. Keeping the project going
at the University of Kansas would be, IMHO, a Good Thing.
Forward as desired

TELL US HOW YOU USE LYNX
The future of Lynx development at The University of Kansas is in
jeopardy. In order to ensure administrative support we are soliciting
information about the use of Lynx throughout the Internet. This
information will be used to argue for continued financial support for
the project, and possibly to help obtain grants or other external
funding.
We are requesting information pertaining to how many universities,
organizations, and machines are running Lynx. What kinds of user
communities and how many users are being served.
As a result we would like to obtain the following information:
1. The name of your organization or site.
2. The number of machines upon which you have installed Lynx.
3. The total or potential number of users served by Lynx at your site.
4. The functions provided by Lynx at your site.
+ Campus Wide Information System access
+ Menuing system
+ Research tool
+ General Web browsing
1. The user communities served at your site. (i.e. Research, academic,
general user, external user, commercial)
2. A statement describing the impact Lynx has made upon your
organization, and its overall level of usefulness.
3. Any other comments or suggestions you may have.
We would prefer this information typed under an organizational
letterhead and mailed to:
