It's good to have someone new looking at this port.

This is in either PDCurses or Slang, depending on which you link to. It
probably should be changed to the DJGPP equivalent (I think it is
dpmi_regs, but I am not at my DOS machine to check).

I haven't heard of anyone working on this. It would be a welcome
addition.

I am not sure that there is a primary maintainer of this one port. We
are trying to keep it integrated with mainstream lynx, if possible.
Wayne Buttles did the primary porting. Several people have contributed
patches for it including Bill Schiavo and me. I have tried to make
several changes over the last year or so, but I am not a programmer,
so keep looking for elementary errors. I should be submitting a new
patch soon that will fix the keyhandling problems in the DJGPP slang
ports. The new binary with the changes incorporated is already at
"http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/lynx2.8.1dev.20-DOS.zip"; and
"ftp://ftp.rahul.net/pub/dkaufman/lynx2.8.1dev.20-DOS.zip";.
It seems to work for me, but I have received one report of trouble with
STARTFILE, that is being checked out.

Patches, complaints, etc. should go to the list.
