  Hi,

  I am trying to view a text-only browser page in Japanese,  Hebrew and
=
many others in text-only browsers like LYNX on UNIX OS.
  =20
  I tried to set the display character set and the language in the LYNX
=
options menu, but didn't help me viewing the page in  Japanese, etc.  =
Can anyone help me, with the settings I need to have in the LYNX=20
  options menu or any packages I need to load on Unix systems.

  Answers :

  1. What flavor of UNIX you are using? Solaris & DEC
  =20
  2. Are you at the console? (Is your keyboard plugged into the box that
=
Lynx
  is running on?)=20
  -YES

  3. Are you using a text mode in the display hardware, or are you using
=
an X
  Window environment with something like term or term?=20
  -YES, I am using an X Window environment with something like term

  4. If you are not at the console, what ST or telnet software are you =
using,
  and on what platform? (example: SecureCRT on Windows NT or telnet from
=
an
  term window on your own Linux box)=20
  -Excursion Server Software on Windows NT=20

  5. And what shell are you using? Is it csh or tcsh, sh or bash, ksh or
=
zsh,
  or...? -
  --tcsh, don't know which one I need to be on.

  Any help will be appreciated.

  There are many possible points of failure. Rather than ask on the =
Unicode
  list, you should ask on the lynx-div list. First sift through the
  information at  http://www.trill-home.com/lynx.html and
  http://www.trill-home.com/lynx/support.html (where I see some links to
=
info
  for Japanese users of Lynx).

  If those pages are not of much help, write to address@hidden and =
include
  as much information as possible, including the answers to these =
questions:

  1. What flavor of UNIX you are using? (Linux? FreeBSD? Solaris? AIX?)

  2. Are you at the console? (Is your keyboard plugged into the box that
=
Lynx
  is running on?)

  3. Are you using a text mode in the display hardware, or are you using
=
an X
  Window environment with something like term or term?

  4. If you are not at the console, what ST or telnet software are you =
using,
  and on what platform? (example: SecureCRT on Windows NT or telnet from
=
an
  term window on your own Linux box)

  5. And what shell are you using? Is it csh or tcsh, sh or bash, ksh or
=
zsh,
  or...?

  I'm sure there is someone on the lynx-div list who can help you. Good
=
luck.
