lynx-dev mozilla

[Eugene I. Ostrenski]

Hello,Leonid.
Glad to hear there is specialist on Lynx Cyrillic:


The following is a reply from Leonid Pauzner, the lynx developer most
expert in Cyrillic display. He does not subscribe to doslynx-dev, so
future questions of this nature would probably best go to lynx-dev.

   I've downloaded the unreadable
 page, There is no charset at the header. I think the shortest way for me is
 to
copy  working LYNX parameters. I can send you this problem page. Have you
got enough time to try to browse it with your LYNX?
