I don't know anything about the SSL support.  All I know is that it is a
hot potato for any U.S. person to offer outright.  I wouldn't mind seeing
it added someday though.

Here is where I am now:

Executable versions of Lynx2.7 + FM bugfixes are available for 386+
(DJGPP) and Win32 at http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/wlynx/.  Read the
readme.  The DJGPP version was based on DJ's original semi-port with some
improvements in file:// support and screen management. 

The source for above will be released as soon as I test-compile it on my
Linux box for porting errors.  I am going to take a little break for a
couple days and rest my brain after that.  Running multiple compilers
(sometimes three at a time) has overloaded my brain.  I feel bad for my
poor little computers too :-)

I also have Bobcat 0.2 out in exe and src now for you low end computer
users.  CGA is still not working :-( but TCP is much improved.
