   If Win16 compilers are anything like ordinary 16 bit compilers for
DOS, then I would be surprised if lynx compiles.  The compilers that I
have used were limited to 64K of global memory.  Also, the run-time
stack is also quite small.  Finally, int is a short.  I do not know if
lynx was written with 16 bit integers in mind.

   That is my feeling.
