OK, he's probably talking about weird interactions between his
terminal emulator [on Mac] and the server's Lynx [presumably on
Linux/UNIX], but;

Not totally abandoned, but I am pretty limited in what I can do
with it. . .

        http://www.island.net/~pboylan/main/00_Lynx.html

In fact, the site itself is still a bit rough.  Please try to
be forgiving about any 404's you might run into.  No downloads

a couple details I still have to work out with the GNU GPL.  If
anyone can give some feedback on that, I'd appreciate it.
