Ah, I know the difference. The /usr/local/bin/lynx version was compiled with
slang. The /usr/local/src/misc/lynx/lynx2-7ssl/lynx was too. Thus they look
the same. The one within http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/solaris/lynx2-7.zip was
not, just regular curses. I just recompiled it, and will repackage it now.

If anyone has downloaded the lynx2-7.zip there, you should replace it. It also
now contains lynx.cfg, though not the readme. The other one, lynx2-7_slang.zip
has NOT been changed.
