I'm working on it. It's going to be included in the binary
distribution archive and in the wrapper-around-the-source archive I'll
put on hobbes when I have time. A worthwhile question: I know some
of the people on this list have been working on the documentation.
Would you (documentation volunteers) prefer that I write up a separate
README.OS2 file, or that I write up patches to the standard INSTALL,
etc files?
As for getting autoconf to work, I don't know about gnuaconf.zip from
LEO; get a patched Autoconf for OS/2 from Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll's
web page, http://www.arrakis.es/. You need all of the gnu shell
utilities, gnu text utilities, a good sh (either pdksh or ash), m4,
sed, and awk. Follow the instructions in
http://www.arrakis.es/acemx.html for running configure.

Yes, of course.

Lynx doesn't look in \mptn\etc (though the people who did the 2.7.2
port may have hardcoded that). I originally didn't make it look in
%ETC% so as not to conflict with Lynx/2. By now that's not likely to
be a problem, so I'll see about changing that once I get my hardware
problems sorted out.
