Re: Lynx ?

[This is just a small culture clash.]  Here's what works:  

If you get the .zip from the fdisk.com site, you put the .zip file in a
virgin folder, unzip it, and read the README that you find there (and what
it tells you to read, like the comments in LYNX.BAT).  There is no
self-installing .exe on the outside, you have to do a little fiddly
business first.

Warning:  This version is not fully consumerized;  The instructions are a
little thin.  Please feel free to write again to address@hidden if it is
not working.  I get to bail out professional webmasters that work all their
life in Windows from time to time.

Once you have paths, etc. set up so that starting LYNX.BAT gets you a
working web browse session, you can "send [LYNX.BAT] to desktop as
shortcut" and a shortcut looking like lynx.ico should show up on your
desktop that launches Lynx just like any other Windows Ap.
