        RE Lynx2-8-1.rel11 on VMS

Build on VMS 5.5-2, VAX C 3.2, UCX 4.1 was clean...

Build on VMS 7.1, DEC 5.7, UCX 4.1 developed a minor new twist....

Both versions working well so far.

Another Minor note - the cookie file and options save increment the VMS
file version number, no problem until after 32767 updates, the maximium version
number, then the files are no longer updated. No errors or crash, the file is
simply not changed.
