Lynx was written by a bunch of guys at the University of Kansas as an alternative to Archie and Gopher which were popular at the time. There was a DOS version written before too long, called "Bobcat", which the dictionary defines as a "small North American lynx". Folks on this list began calling it "Lynx the Cat" as opposed to "Links the Chain" because Lynx and Links sound alike when a speech synthesizer gets its hands on them! I believe Anne Parsons offered that distinction. Chuck -- The Moon is Waning Crescent (19% of Full) "Things are in the saddle, and they ride mankind."
