    From Ole Juul@1:255/36 to All on Wed Jan 27 21:55:05 2010
    Does anyone have a well functioning copy of Lynx?
    I ripped the browser part out of Bobcat and that is about
    the best I can find. It is however a bit buggy and won't
    take large sites. There is a problem with the memory
    management. Perhaps I have too much available and it
    is not coded for that. Perhaps it needs a specifc
    memory manager, I don't know.

    I'm continuing this same message because I don't
    understand the editor here. It doesn't really work as
    far as I can see. Sorry. :)

    The other Lynx version I tried is the DosLynx one.
    It has it's own menu system and doesn't really do
    the standard Lynx thing. It also won't do a lot of
    really simple pages.

    Anyway, my question is, does anyone have a more functional
    version?

    I've already found something. I had forgotten about this one.
    I downloaded the huge file and just kept the lynx.cfg file
    and then the single executable without the language support.
    The version is Lynx Version is 2.8.5rel.1. I'm happy now.
    All I need are Lynx.cfg and Lynx.exe and everything works.
    Very fast compared to the Bobcat and DosLynx versions which
    can't handle a lot of sites and don't have that "DOS speed"
    that I crave. :) If anyone else is interested the web site
    to get the latest version from is:

    That's essentially the one I'm using. :) Mine is 2.8.5dev.16

    And D Kaufman is the name on mine, as well... so it does seem to be the
    same... :) It's been working just fine for me, for some years now. :)
