Along the way to implementing the full MSWINDOWS lynx for Windows 3.1,
I just posted a copy of the slrn news reader using libslang and my
own Dos console code to the Usenet binaries group

        alt.binaries.news-server-comparison

The next step in the porting process is to work on the lynx source for
a similar port.

This is a compressed, archived, latest beta of the 16-bit Windows
version of the Unix SLRN news reader.  It is statically linked to
the libslang library and the wstdio console library.  The executable
would be 1/2 to the present size if library DLLs were used.  To send
mail from the news reader, you need to find the `sendsmtp' program
on the internet, and modify the configuration (slrn.rc) file accordingly.

Features include:

        - Mouse capability (with the -m option)
        - For Windows 3, converts internal file names of any size
          to (8,3) file names
        - Not a Windows console app, so can be subclassed to include,
          e. g., copy-and-paste and font selection.
        - Not a Windows console app, so can use, e. g., Windows
          asynchronous socket calls.  (to do)
        - slrn configuration file (slrn.rc) debugged for Windows use
