I figured I better get this message out before I got snowed in with email.

Development on some sort of lynx for DOS is not dead.

My message was misinterpreted. What I said was: what did people want
more, a 386+ dos version or a win95/nt version. What I meant was: if
someone were to make an attemt at seeing what happened during a test
port of real lynx for a non unix/vax machine which would be preferable.

The question arose from a failed attempt at testing the portability of
lynx2-6 for plain dos straight out of the box. It is just too large in
spots to be compiled and I wanted to see if it would work from other
approaches. lynx2-6 has been found to be compilable for 386+ and 95/nt
and someone else is furthering that effort, so I am back to looking at
plain DOS solutions.
