I'm getting an EMX/GCC development environment debugged on a Win3.11
machine. Once I get that going, I should be able to build a 32-bit lynx
which runs under Win32s using the RSXWIN extender. (In fact, the OS/2 EMX
Lynx port might work.)
Possible obstacles: I don't know if the socket calls work with the Windows
extender.
I'll keep you posted.
