Agreed. However, I'm still not sure why he's trying to compile a
binary for 386DOS on a Windows95/NT machine. So although I promised to
stay out of the discussion, I think I should try to get that one
point cleared up. If he has a real need to be doing this, e.g.,
not enough memory for compiling on the 386 machine he wants to run
Lynx on, then yes, how to compile for 386DOS on a Windows95 machine
will be a necessary addition.
An aside to Klaus: I'm still tweaking INSTALLATION here and there, so
just before you zip up the pre-release, you might want to grab the
latest. (If nothing else, we have to keep those darn Yankees happy
and have "acknowledgment" [even though Webster (What's that?) gives
both]. Just a joke; I did appreciate the patch, Larry.) There's
also the "win32.zip package unziped into the lynx" trouble that some-
one just posted about. And this one (386DOS compile on Windows95/NT).

They aren't "broken" as far as I can tell, but I'll take the liberty of
cc'ing any posts I make.

I want to be sure again that you really want to be going to this
trouble. I doubt you would have any problem were you trying to build
a 386DOS binary on a 386DOS machine. If nothing else, there certainly
would be no 8.3 file problem. Is there some reason you HAVE to compile
on a Windows95/NT machine?
The question I have in the back of my mind is, are actually you planning
to run the final binary on the Windows95/NT machine? If so, you're
following the wrong set of instructions. The method for compiling for
386DOS and that for Win32 are entirely different.
But whatever happens, PLEASE don't "give up".
