LYNX-DEV lynx 2.7.1 for Minix

[Ing. Claudio M. Tantignone]

Hello:
Thanks for your comments. The port of lynx to Minix is from the last I
saw in Internet, 2.7.1.

No yet, I will sent it to minix1.hampshire.edu this end of week. I will
comment you when it be ready. The version I port was 2.7.1.

No, some routine gave me the "out of memory" message. You need to set the
stack and data size in Minix with the command chmem (native for Minix).
So for me the program crash because it was short of memory.

I saw the parameters DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE about having documents in memory.
I will check the HText_new() routine, I compile with some option (I do not
remember now) and lynx generates a lynx.leak file, now is empty.

Ok, I was hoping to reduce memory usage, with files in disk cache.
About proxy caching, I know about http server running in Minix, but
I do not know about proxy servers.
