If you have lynx2-2.SUN4.EXE, then (assuming your network provider is
running SunOS Release 4x) the only thing you're missing is making the
file "executable". This you do by typing the Unix command:
$chmod 700 lynx2-2.SUN4.EXE
Now you can "run" the file by typing its name. You'll probably want to
change its name, while you're at it, to something easier to type:
$mv lynx2-2.SUN4.EXE lynx
Now just type "lynx" (without the quotes) to run it.
The default home page is at the U of Kansas. It's good to start there.
But very quickly you'll want to start making and using your own.
Fortunately, Lynx has good documentation.
