LYNX-DEV RE: Problem with Lynx Win32

[Binh Do]

Running under debugger, I found out that the error happened because 
function HTLocalName() in htfile.c calls function HTDOS_name() in htdos.c
to get the localname. The latter returns a DOS_Path_Name (converted from
original Unix path) in a static array. 

Later the 'localname' is freed and that caused the error. To fix that bug,
I modified function HTDOS_name() in htdos.c as follows:
        - Replace statement 'return(cp_url);' with
                strcpy(dosname, cp_url);
                return(dosname);
        - Replace statement 'return(cp_url+1);' with 
                strcpy(dosname, cp_url+1);
                return(dosname);

Hope that nothing else is affected. Thx.

Binh Do.
