I don't know anything about the SSL support. All I know is that it is a
hot potato for any U.S. person to offer outright. I wouldn't mind seeing
it added someday though.
Here is where I am now:
Executable versions of Lynx2.7 + FM bugfixes are available for 386+
(DJGPP) and Win32 at http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/wlynx/. Read the
readme. The DJGPP version was based on DJ's original semi-port with some
improvements in file:// support and screen management.
The source for above will be released as soon as I test-compile it on my
Linux box for porting errors. I am going to take a little break for a
couple days and rest my brain after that. Running multiple compilers
(sometimes three at a time) has overloaded my brain. I feel bad for my
poor little computers too :-)
I also have Bobcat 0.2 out in exe and src now for you low end computer
users. CGA is still not working :-( but TCP is much improved.
