Lynx for DOS is compiled with PDCurses, which does not support the mouse
under DOS. When shelling to DOS or using a viewer, however, mouse support
is expected. If SLIP8250.COM is used as the packet driver for local
browsing, the mouse doesn't work even in a shell or in the viewer. This
problem doesn't exist with the use of SLIPPER.COM. I would suggest that
we take references to SLIP8250.COM out of the documentation and
substitute information about SLIPPER.COM. The following patch is against
Henry's latest INSTALLATION file.

If all goes well, you will have a lynx.exe file. If you have trouble,
check to be sure djgpp.env is the way it came in the original package.
! You probably want to test lynx now, but lynx_386 won't work without a
! packet driver installed. For testing purposes, you can use
! slip8250.com. It is available in the CRYNWR package (available at
"http://www.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/pktdrvr/pktd11.zip").
! Usage is "slip8250 0x60". For connecting over a dialup PPP connection
! you need a package such as dosppp or klos' pppshare (available at
! "http://www.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/pktdrvr/dosppp05.zip" and
! "ftp://ftp.klos.com/demo/pppshare.exe").
See "http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/lynxport.htm" for more hints and some
precompiled libraries. If you compile lynx regularly, you may automate
