A release of 2.8.2pre6 is available from: ftp://crab.it.osha.sut.ac.jp/pub/Win32/develope/senshu/Lynx/ This version differs from the development source for 2.8.2, but compiles on several Win32 compilers. The patches were done by Senshu Hiroyuki; we expect them to be integrated into the next version of Lynx. Pointers to Lynx for DOS386+ and Win32 is available from:
