This directory contains lynx binaries collected by Subir Grewal <subir@crl.com>. Since I haven't compiled most of these binaries myself, I cannot vouch for their stability. I have made an attempt to only accept binaries from people I know and trust, though. If you have any problems with the lynx binaries here, please do send me mail.
You can find PGP signatures and README files for a number of binaries in the info directory.
You should get a copy of the docs.lynx2-7.zip or docs.lynx2-8.zip file. It contains a number of documents including help files and sample lynx.cfg that were included in the Lynx2.8 distribution. It is essential that you use an updated lynx.cfg if you want to take advantage of the complete functionality of Lynx2.8
Most binaries to be found here are compressed using gzip. If you don't have gzip, send me a note and I'll make a Unix compressed copy available. You can get gzip/gunzip from a GNU mirror. You might also wish to download Info-ZIP the really cool compressor+archiver
If you're having trouble getting these binaries from the web server, send me a note and I'll put the one you want in my ftp space for a short period of time.

PS. Thanks to Jonathan Sergent for suggesting the GNU config-guess type filenames (processor-vendor-OS) wouldn't have occured to me.
