The most likely scenario is that you didn't get the version for Win95,
but got the source code instead. See the page about lynx for Win32 and
DOS at:
"http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/lynxport.htm";.

If you still have questions, please write back with details of the
version that you have and what you tried to do. The Win32 version
usually comes with a sample bat file that you have to modify. Then
you create a shortcut to the bat file. There is no INSTALL.EXE or
SETUP.EXE file. You have to do manual installation. If you don't have
a LYNX.EXE file in your distribution, you got the wrong package.

By the way, you sent your message as a giant line without linebreaks
and repeated the message in html. Please try to set your mailer not
to do this. If possible, you need line breaks at about 70 to 75
characters. Don't send html version of a message unless you know that
the recipient has requested this.
