Unfortunately in many sites containing bad html with forms
the forms did not work in lynx2.7.1 and before.
The form bug was fixed by Fote after 2.7.1, so there is no
official release with this fix.
Hopefully the new release will come out soon.
It has many nifty new features in addition to fixing the form bug...
(Actually it wasn't really a bug, just bad error recovery
for bad html,  but u can't always get webmasaters
to fix their html if it works ok in Netscape...)
