  Subject: Lynx binary downloads

  When I use Lynx (2.5FM) on my ISP with a file with no suffix, I get a 
  binary image.  When my friend on Delphi does the same, his d/l is assumed
  text and is corrupted as a binary file.  I think the problem can be
  corrected with the lynx.cfg file, but I don't know how.  Can you tell me
  how my friend could get a binary d/l to his Delphi directory of a binary
  file with no suffix?  Or tell me where I can look to find the answer?
  
  Thanks very much for your time.

The usual mishap with such files is a _server_ problem.  Are you
and your friend on Delphi retrieving the same file from the same
server?  Or is your friend retrieving a file from a server that
doesn't know it has a binary file?  If that is the problem, I hope
that the discussion of binary downloads in Al's picks will get 
you up and running again.
