Re: lynx-dev Lynx 2.8.4 with OpenSSL

[Patrick Ash]

I was able to get this to work with a little effort. I was not ever
able to define [sl]rand48 to [s]random anywhere and have it
recognized throughout the compile. 

In looking at the archives, I found a post from Doug Kaufman on 11
Oct. 2000, and it referenced some code. I added the following to
http.c, and the compile completed without problem. 

#ifdef USE_SSL
#include <HTNews.h>

// Add new OS/2 code here 
#define lrand48() rand()/32767.0
#define srand48(sv) (srand((unsigned)(sv)))
//  End new code 

#endif

The finished build seems to work fine, and passes high encryption
testing at several security checking sites.
