LYNX-DEV v2.7 pre-release

[Foteos Macrides]

02-03-97
* Today's distribution is a pre-release of v2.7.  The projected official
  release date is 02-15-97.  All header, help and documentation files,
  and the top directory name, have been updated for v2.7. - FM
* Made xli, which is freeware, the default XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND for Unix
  in userdefs.h (still xv on VMS, since its port is freeware), and
  expanded the "self-documentation" to indicate where to get this
  freeware.  Added XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND as a configuration symbol in
  lynx.cfg, so that the compilation default can be overridden on
  systems which have and prefer xv (all users can override the default
  mappings for image helper apps via their mailcap files) - FM
* Added a -base command line switch which can be used with -source or
  -mime_header to prepend the request URL as a comment, and a BASE tag
  (which may or may not be the same as the request URL, depending on
  HTTP/1.1 headers) for text/html documents, equivalent to the prepend
  kludge for 'd'ownloads (see 09-20-96 mods). - FM
* Added a check for an "ORGANIZATION" environment variable for inclusion
  as a news post header on Unix (all system logicals intended for news
  post headers automatically are included on VMS), and a sleep() before
  restoring curses mode after the post, to allow reading of any error
  messages from the news software. - FM
* Fixed bug which yielded a "[LINK]" instead of "[INLINE]" pseduo-ALT
  for ALT-less IMG tags used as the content for NAME-ed Anchors without
  an HREF. - FM
* Portability tweaks for the mini inews utility. - FM
* Fixed an old and irrelevant typo in HTWriter.c. - JS
