Platform: SPARC/Solaris 2.4/Sun's compiler
Lynx configuration: Lynx 2-6, Fote's patches from 11/22, RP's color patch
solaris2 ncurses and RP's color options selected:
# Solaris 2 style sheets via ncurses using Sun's unbundled C compiler
# define RESOLVLIB (above) for the "LIBS" entry if needed
# Solaris2 doesn't have or need ranlib. (ignore the error message about that :)
solaris2-ncurses-color:
cd WWW/Library/solaris2; $(MAKE) CC="cc" LYFLAGS="$(CCFLAGS) \
$(SITE_LYDEFS)"
cd src; $(MAKE) STYLE=$(STYLE) all CC="cc" MCFLAGS="$(CCFLAGS)
$(LDFLAGS) \
-DUNIX -DSVR4 -DSOLARIS2 \

Behavior problem.
I login to my registered Reference.com account and select one of my queries.
The HTML has one increasingly annoying bad behavior - the BASE tag is
before the <HTML>...</HTML> structure; some one here on the mailing list
is apparently using the same software, because his web page has the
same thing.
There's no DOCTYPE, and I am not sure what DTD reference.com thinks they
are using, so validation is difficult. Plus, they use the increasingly
annoying URL parm passing structure of &variable=value.
When I start moving down the page, I get to a form with the following
format. As I move down thru the fields, lynx stops at the HelpWindow
mode and doesn't display me moving the cursor farther.
Even worse, when I go in and tell lynx to move me directly to the
bottom of the entire page, lynx terminates with error; however, no
core dump was generated.
If someone out there is also using reference.com, would you let me
know if you have found a patch for lynx 2.6 to allow me to use reference.com
again?
