[Lynx-dev] SLang build fails on VMS

[Terrence Branscombe]

Using the Feb 4, 2005 release of LYnx 2.8.5 I tried building with the 
SLang library version 2.0.5 on OpenVMS 7.3-2 (Alpha).

I looked in lynx-dev archive and found a suggested patch for the SLang 
library, but SLang has since been modified by its author (John Davis) so 
the suggested changes in lynx-dev no longer appeared to apply (to a 
non-programmer, at least).  Is there a further patch of SLang required 
in order to build cleanly on VMS?  Thanks,

Terry
