        It's fine.  I put today's .zip, .zip-lst and CHANGES in it (I
updated the online 'h'elp files, and converted that huge if, else if, ...
chain in LYReadCFG.c into a switch.  It's still big, with all the lynx.cfg
symbols we now have, but the VAXC compiler must have gotten through the
huge switches in HTML.c and LYMainLoop.c before tackling LYReadCFG.c, so
it shouldn't have any problem now.).

        Subir can simply add that link in the "patches" section were he
