LYNX-DEV lynx-386 filename problem

[Gary Turner]

Hi there,

I have found a problem in the 386+ version of lynx, which I just
downloaded from fdisk.com (exe dated last month? ). I am running it 
under dos 6.22 on a '486.

The problem relates to (certainly) printing and (possibly) 
downloading and saving html files. Lynx tries to create a temporary 
file, but it is not a valid dos filename, and bombs. I set up a batch 
file with a 'echo %1' line in it as a print method to test it, and it 
is trying to print a file c:\tmp/L128981TMP.txt (c:\tmp is my tmp 
environment variable )

As you can see, there is a mix of forward and backward slashes, and 
the temp file name is greater than 8 letters.

Has anyone else had this problem, and if so is there a fix for it?
