        I appreciate your offering me a guest account so I can check things
out on a solaris box, and still be able to zip when the OSF box where I
normally zip goes dead (that problem has been traced to bad memory, which
will be replaced soon).  But you should not treat that macrides account as
a public account, copy the image from my working code, and post bug reports
about it.  You have no idea what's in that working code, or whether it
corresponds to what is in public lynx2-6mods.zip on our http and gopher
servers here.  If you want to use the mods, do it properly and use the
ones made public via our http and gopher servers, OK?

        Looking over that solaris, which indeed has plenty of disk space,
if you break out a vanilla v2.6 in the webmaster or mcgee account, and
overlay a lynx2-6mods.zip from here (unzip -u lynx2-6mods.zip) whenever
you to want to update, it should altogether take just a few minutes.
