It sounds like you got the archive containing source code. You didn't
say what operating system you use on your PC, but lynx is available for
DOS, Windows95, and WindowsNT. See information at the following URL
about the lynx ports and where to get working binaries. If you are
planning to run in DOS, there are choices of three different packages.
You might try the package available from my web or ftp site.
