>   The current developmental Lynx is being given two new PC ports. The
>   term port means that these versions will be able to follow the
>   development of Lynx as it continues to grow. The ports are for Win32
>   (95 and NT) and DOS 386+. If you have less than a 386 then you might
>   want to look at other options such as Bobcat or Nettamer.
>   
>   Lynx screen shot Here is a thumbnail screen shot of the current phase
>   of Lynx for PC's. The screen is exactly the same for the 386 version
>   as it is for the Win32 version. You will notice it now has color. It
>   also demonstrates the fact that although there is a Win32 version it
>   still works in text mode and NOT as a GUI.
>   
>   The Win32 version will work on Win95 or WinNT using the standard
>   winsock. Win3.11 will NOT work -- not even with win32s and wolverine
>   installed. This is a console application meaning that it appears to
>   run in a DOS box within Windows, but it accesses the Windows network
>   layer and other kernel functions directly. Updated on 1997.03.14.
>   
>   The 386+ version runs in DOS and requires a 386 or higher and some
>   sort of packet driver. You might also need csdpmi3b.zip if you get no
>   DPMI, or emu387.dxe if you get coprocessor not available. FTP and NEWS
>   are still not working yet for the 386 version, but they are being
>   looked into. Updated on 1997.03.14.
>   
>   There are a lot of quirks and tricks to using lynx to its fullest on
>   PC's. Please make sure to read the readme.txt to find answers to the
>   most frequent questions.
>   
>   The source is available but it is very much in flux right now as there
>   are many people trying to add fairly large changes to create the next
>   version of lynx. I used Borland C++ 4.52 to compile the Win32 version.
>   The 386+ version is compiled with DJGPP 2. You will need the helper
>   files from here if you decide to give compiling a try but be warned
>   that the source and helper libs will rarely be in sync with my current
>   exe offerings.

>   version and, if there is a problem, the URL in question.
