subject: Lynx for OS/2 and Maximus 3.01

Hello Hakan,

 HK> I never tried this but I am interested. I am

 HK> Please tell me what have you tried up to now and I'll

There are 2 versions of LYNX out for OS/2.  One actually has the source
code available and can be edited do do an actual door but I decided to take
the lazy man's way out and license OS2You -- a very good program that
allows you to make any program a DOOR.

Wwith MAXPIPE I had limited success with the one with source code and no
luck with the other one.

 HK> to All: Do you know a better technique for this?

I am not sure if there is a better way.   There was a public LYNX server
that you could open a telnet door to with a program called CINET but it
seems to be down now.

George
