It was a 2000 line context diff patch, still available at:
     
   Linkname: Lynx for OS/390
        URL: http://www.nyx.net/~pgilmart/lynx.os390.html
     
Link that you currently have selected
   Linkname: lynx.patch.os390.zip

Discussed in this list in late October.  Look for "EBCDIC" and
"Autoconf in the subject.  You  can find most of it with:

    egrep 'EBCDIC
    TOASCII
    FROMASCII
    NOT_ASCII
    IBM_1047
    CH_DEL
    CH_ESC
    CH_HICTL
    CH_NBSP
    CH_SHY' `find lynx2-8-2`

The best news was that there were absolutely no changes
necessary to deal with curses.
