Re: lynx-dev lynx2.8.4dev.20

[Larry W. Virden]

Platform: SPARC Sun Solaris 8, Sun compiler 5.1

I just downloaded, patched, did a make clean, configured (using the same
script as I used previously), and built this new version.

The resulting lynx doesn't display in color, whereas the previous
one did.

Instead of colors, I get a weird inverse effect.

See http://www.purl.org/net/lvirden/lynxdiff.gif for a snapshot of the
difference.  The window on the left is a dtterm running lynx 2.8.4dev.19 .
The window on the right is a dtterm running lynx 2.8.4dev.20 .

Both are using the same config files, lynxrc file, etc.  I've not
done the make install step.

Here's the differences between the Configuration Definitions:
