History
Lynx was a product of the Distributed Computing Group within Academic Computing Services of the University of Kansas.[6][7] It was first created in 1992 by a team of students and staff at the university (Lou Montulli, Michael Grobe and Charles Rezac) as a hypertext browser. It was used only to distribute campus information as part of a Campus-Wide Information Server. It was also used for browsing the Gopher space.
