Re: [Lynx-dev] Seeking a command line option?

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi Rudy,
This may indeed make sense if there is a gzzip associated with lynx 
configurations, i. e. the rollback also connected  lynx with the older 
edition.
again shellworld is a service, I am not downloading anything so my disk 
space would not impact if a link to an on line article functioned or 
not..the  gzzip factor might since a temporary file or those I noticed 
have.gz at the end.
Thanks,
Karen
