Okay. I did not realize that you are (one of) the developer(s) of Lynx :-))

Thank you to the relay. I managed to use "make lynx.patch" (that clever) to
make the patch and I discover that the encoding of some languages is altered. I
do not know if my editor who screwed up or if it's diff. I give you the patch
anyway. In any case the changes are trivial and translators can be applied by
hand to avoid breaking the encoding.

I understood the need to put in orig lynx.x.y.z It works very well now Thanks.
