lynx-dev Fwd: Lynx can launch Media Player

[Lloyd G. Rasmussen]

I don't know any more about this Lynx/32 version yet, but it's good to 
see that someone else is compiling it.

Subject: Lynx can launch Media Player
Lynx_w32 was always able to start the Real player. However, when one
tried to start other helper aplications, it just didn't work. I've now
found a site in Japan, which provides Lynx compiled differently, than
the usual version from www.fdisk.com. The Lynx.cfg from this Japanese
site is not so useful for me, because it includes settings, only
useful for Japanese users. But the binary lynx.exe is terrific. I can
better interrupt it with z for instance, than the www.fdisk.com
version. Also, I can start Microsoft's Media Player with this version
of Lynx. I put the following line into my .mailcap file:
video/x-ms-asf; mplayer2 %s

You also have to put the path to Media Player into the Path DOS
variable.
