lynx-dev 283pre1 on Borland for Win32

[Webmaster Jim]

I had 2 problems compiling 283pre1 with Borland.

The 1st was in LYLocal.c, where there is a "_creat" call that fails.  I
replaced it with this just to get the compile to work:

BASH.EXE-2.02$ diff LYLocal.cdf LYLocal.c
2361c2361
<       int fd = _creat(argv[1], _S_IREAD | _S_IWRITE);
---
>       int fd = creat(argv[1], 'rw');

The 2nd is in LYStrings where there are a lot of syntax errors.  It
seems to be enabling ncurses_mouse, which is different than the
pdcurses I am using.  Going back to a LYStrings from February allowed
the compile to complete.  I'm attaching the errors for the compile
attempt with the latest code:

** error 1 ** deleting ../obj/LYStrings.obj

I will upload the Win32 binary after some testing and building a ZIP
distribution.
