The problem was indeed in the function that you suggest: It is an
#ifndef _WINDOWS
#ifdef USE_SLANG
that should read:
#ifdef _WINDOWS
#ifdef USE_SLANG
Once you correct the strange misspelling of ifndef above, you get a
working - and stable - lynx.exe for both slang and pdcurses. I posted
the pdcurses version of November 3 source on alt.binaries.misc, just so
you can see this.
Of course, the mouse still does not work under pdcurses, but it does
work under slang.
Also, I posted elsewhere that the display corruption problem that occurs
when calling viewers can be traced to XSystem.c and its implementation
of system_command. I changed the code to make system_command call vanilla
system(cmd), and the display corruption problem went away for _both_ slang
and pdcurses.
Sorry, no diffs, unless someone has the diff program ported to Windoze.
