  Thanks for updating prep.ai.mit.edu!  The only minor nit is the 
  numbering scheme.  Lynx versions have historically been identified
  with dashes rather than periods, since VMS apparently allows only
  one dot per file name.  So lynx-2.7.1 should be called lynx2-7-1.
  
Historically, there has been varied use including mixes such as 2.3-FM.

But I think we should go with the way we want it to be in the future.
I have changed the text on lynx.browser.org to read "Lynx 2-7-1"
on the premise that if we just stick to this people won't trip over
the fact that there are hyphens in the filename.

Anyone object?
