Hi Mark,

Surprise, surprise :-)

Lynx is *crap*
It caused me that many problems that when I had a BBS running I
eventually banned lynx uploads, and converted every lynx'd file I had
to other formats.

I can assure you that I didn't do this for the fun of it.

 MD> BTW when I get it un-lynxed I might repack it as .SFX and re-upload

No matter what the program it is (or how much I may want it), I will
*never* waste my time downloading LNX files.

Just my not so humble opinion of it.

Cheers
Rod
