Unless other members of the list express a real desire for it, I personally
think having it archived on lynx-dev is more appropriate than putting it in
with the distribution documents. It looked good at the time, and it looks
even better now. However, I tend to agree with Doug that anyone who could
compile Lynx from source code on 386DOS would have the capability to write
such a script, i.e., it's not core to the installation process.

Hmmm. Things really could use some polishing up here. Since the top-level
makefile is already in place, wouldn't it be simpler to just remove the
makeuctb target from your makefile proposed for src/chrtrans? Or would it
be better to go the other way and put everything in the top-level makefile?

Well, I did get the reaction I wanted, which is commitment. I asked you
explicitly to NOT write to me privately, and TO keep the discussion public
on lynx-dev. The very reason for this is because I am not qualified in any
way to judge whether or not a makefile might work, let alone write one.
A new release of Lynx is imminent. It would be nice to have a "final version"
in place before that happens.
You and anyone else are more than welcome to look over your makefile proposal
and the editing changes I made to it. Make suggestions, criticize, bash away!
As I said yesterday, you can find it, in its entirety, as a diff -c in
"http://163.51.110.11/lynxdev/SIMPLEDIR.gz". (Grep for your name.) The
reason for the diff -c format is because I thought this might be easier for
Klaus who has so much other stuff to do.
And, BTW, before anyone gets too hot, I hope you all know that there is no
guarantee at all that any of this will get into the main-stream distribution.
