using 2-8-1rel.1 the PRE block comes out correctly;
i also copied your version to a file & viewed it with Lynx ditto.
you can get 2-8-1 from  www.slcc.edu/lynx/release/ .

NB  <PRE WIDE>  is not valid HTML:
 <PRE WIDTH=n>  is valid, where  n  is a number;
presumably, Lynx ignores the unknown attribute.

also, Lynx appears to recognise the header within the PRE block,
which should be incorrect: everything inside should appear literally.

apparently, the weather in East Anglia is as miserable as usual (smile).
