Lynx is available in binary form for Windows & DOS:
goto  www.fdisk.com/doslynx/lynxport.htm .
it's not difficult to compile for UNIX, VMS & several other systems:
the latest stable version is available at  www.slcc.edu/lynx/release/ 
& comes with full instructions on installation.
for much more information, start at  lynx.browser.org/ .
