> 4. Technical Description:
>     4.1. Details:
> 
>         Lynx is an open-source text-only web browser.  It is an 
> ncurses-based
>         app which allows users to browse web pages from non-GUI 
> environments
>         like a terminal or the console.
> 
>         Lynx is not intended to replace the Firefox web browser in
>         OpenSolaris, but does have advantages in certain scenarios.  It is
>         useful where only a text-based environment is available and in
>         low-bandwidth setups.  It may also be useful for some visually-
>         impared users.
> 
>         Lynx uses OpenSSL to access HTTPS encrypted URLs.  This use will be
>         covered by an upcoming contract beetween JDS and ON to be lodged
>         with the OpenSSL ARC case (PSARC 2003/500).
> 
>         This proposal adds Lynx 2.8.6, the latest stable version, to
>         OpenSolaris.
> 
>         This proposal seeks Minor release binding.
> 
>     4.2. Bug/RFE Number(s):
