I am not entirely sure what to do here.  When a compressed file file is
encountered (gzip, compress...), lynx makes a temp file with two
extentions like Lxxxxxxx.txt.gz and then expects the resulting file to be
Lxxxxxxx.txt.  I am not sure how to modify this for the 386 port which
can't handle it.  Anyone have any thoughts?
