That's version 2.8.1, which is rather old.
The current version of lynx is 2.8.3
It's available at
http://lynx.browser.org
ftp://lynx.isc.org/lynx-2.8.3
2.8.4 Development & patches:
http://lynx.isc.org/current/index.html
(I compiled dev.14 from the latter site w/o problems for the next freeware
cdrom)

It sounds as if you transferred a Unix source-file in binary mode to VMS. (The
line-endings aren't compatible).
Try the zip-file (transfer in binary mode) which contains the sources. (Get
unzip, e.g., from the same website if you don't already have it). There are
more than 400 source-files in Lynx; editing them takes a while.
