There is an SSL enabled Lynx available from

        ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux

perhaps you downloaded Lynx 2.7 from that site.  The generic Lynx
distribution needs SSL code to be incorporated seperately.  As I explained
in an earlier message, this is necessary due to restrictions on the
distribution of cryptographic technology imposed by the US Federal
Government, aka *.gov.  cabi.net is an off-shore site.

You are the logical type and hate disorder.  This nitpicking is
sickening to your friends.  You are cold and unemotional and sometimes
fall asleep while making love.  Virgos make good bus drivers.
