I think we may understand each other.

Yes, Michael Sokolov can made DOSSOCK/MMM386/LYNX386,
he has outstanding low level pc-hardware/programming skills,
and such a person undoubtedly will work separately.
But... it may take several months or may be a year or so, Fote's 2.7.2
now "frozen" and the best candidate for this plan.

>From the other hand, when (and if) it will be done
we may incorporate his DOS code to 2.8+ because it is a good idea to have
port in progress so later additions/improvements to
HTML/HTTP/etc. handling will be incorporated automatically
(unless Michael plan maintain such lynx issues himself,
I think not, sure).

No items for flame here, really.

Thanks, Michail, for your explanation of True DPMI in Windows etc.
Another (minore) difference may be from long filenames with spaces etc.
