Hiya All

I think previous threads revealed that one set of the lynx binaries (lynx
2.8.2r1 at http://www.workspot.net/~varshar/lynx-2.8.2r1.tar.gz)  linked
from the cygwin website had two problems:

1) The TERMINFO var had to be set explicitly, as the binaries were expecting 
them to be elsewhere

2) The binaries also expected cp to be in somehwhere other than /usr/bin or 
/bin

I've recompiled lynx on my machine (worked almost OOTB ;-) ) but I thought 
I'd put them up on the web just incase anyone else wanted them. I've placed 
them at  http://www.netnexus.uklinux.net/downloads/lynx2.8.3r1.tar.gz

The three files need to be manually moved to the relevant locations (see the 
README). The binaries were compiled without any special options to 
./configure.

If someone can verify they work on a machine other than my own, the existing 
link on the cygwin website could be replaced.

I also wouldn't mind doing a proper cygwin package for lynx (ie. one people 
can see with setup.exe) *if* it isn't too hard, and someone can point me in 
the right direction.

Hope the binaries are of use to someone

Sagar
