Re: lynx-dev lynx_386 install ?

[Lloyd G. Rasmussen]

That sounds like an older version of Lynx.  The latest I have been 
using is 2.8.1 Release 4, available at www.fdisk.com
  Do you have a DPMI (DOS Protected Mode Interface) server loading 
before Lynx starts?  Here at work I am running QEMM, so it comes as 
part of the QEMM process.  At home I have used CWSDPMI, a freeware 
DPMI provider which is also pointed to from the Fdisk web page.

Hope this helps.  I use Lynx/386 with a screen reading program and 
speech synthesizer.
