LYNX-DEV RE: http://mlis.state.md.us/1997rs/billfile/hb0284.htm

[Jim Spath (Webmaster Jim)]

Thank you for your prompt response.  As far as I know, both Sailor and
BCPL run the same version of Lynx (2.6).  Since this is the current
release (2.7 is not available yet), I do not understand your comment about
"older" browsers. 

Since many people use BCPL as well as Sailor, it would be helpful if your
forms worked for them. 

Thanks!
