What? A Unix machine? Just read the fact sheet carefully. It is only for 
Windows and OS/2. No wonder you had problems. Even if you are using 
X-Windows, I doubt that the program is meant to deal with that.

Oh yes. I admit to loving the Windows 95, with an eye on Windows NT. They 
are the best. As about taking the time to try everything, it has never 
been my philosophy in life to try 'everything'. I go with what is known 
to work, but if there is something I like, I am on the bleeding edge of 
the technology, e.g. I am always one of the first to install and run beta 
versions of different browsers (netscape, Internet Explorer, and some 
multilingual browsers you may never have heared of). My hobby is web page 
design, particualrly multilingual. I have been awarded for that by none 
theless than BYTE magazine. I am still receiving free subscription since 
1997. There also have been free software awarded to me. I am also the 
ringmaster of the Arabic Language on the WWW. 

So, it is true that I am not yet interested/studied server software. 
However, I intend to change that very soon by taking courses in Windows 
NT. Do not get me wrong, at one time, I had a news server, an FTP server 
and a WWW server on my machine. However, due to financial troubles I had 
to give up my ISP account, with a static IP address :-(and my telephone)-:

: : : 	this is the best reason to stick to lynx to come along in some time.

: agreed... TFN should stick with Lynx until the resources are there!

Agreed too. In fact I-Comm must use Lynx. You are confusing two issues. 
Ordinary TFN members cannot run lynx off their machines like may be you 
and me with ISP accounts. They can only use the server Lynx. So, do not 
confuse the issues. 

It is amazing that there is a consensus on "If you cannot convince them, 
confuse them".
