I must point out that there is a free win32 compiler based on the GNU C
compiler (gcc) at:

  http://WWW.Cygnus.Com/

I was able to cimpile and run both ncurses and Lynx 2.8.1 with almost no
problems. It even supports color styles!

(The one change I had to make was adding an entry for the Cygnus GNU-Win32
environment to the configure script.)
