I was wondering if somebody might be kind enough to update the lynx
homepage as a dos version is currently available here:
https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/1.3/html/en/net/lynx/20220217.0/index.html


Source is also available from delorie if you click around.  Currently, I
see only Doug Kaufman's version listed on
https://lynx.invisible-island.net/lynx2.9.3/index.html , which hasn't
worked with TLS in at least a decade.

FWIW, years ago, I twice asked Juan Manuel Guerrero of DJGPP if he would
consider reviving his port, but he never replied.  A shame, it is a stable,
fast port that still works and lends great usage to my retro PC which once
helped me win a bet.  (Oh yeah?  Well, I'll bet you twenty bucks I can boot
this ancient PC here and retrieve the weather report before you can do the
same on yours!)  I'm not sure many people have the skills nor interest to
look into DJGPP.

Thanks,
-Dan
