This was a change that I initiated. Lynx_386 now opens all files as
binary by default. If you don't do this, binary files are truncated at
the first <^Z>, making it impossible to view graphics. You can take out
the line from the sourcecode for the binary default, but you willl lose
the binary files. I think that the easiest fix is to convert any text
file to MSDOS format, if you prefer, with one of the several UNIX to
DOS converters after saving it.
