No. LYNX is a Unix utility provided by my ISP and is driven from the
command line. I'm not sure if it will allow images but I don't want to
load images because we are still charged for all traffic when using
LYNX or any other data transfer/viewing utility. I try to keep my
total monthly traffic bill well below $10 per month.

If you like Linux and Unix then that's fine. I am very familiar with
Unix but I do have to use it at the command line with my ISP Shell
Account and I have the book "Unix in a Nutshell" for my reference.

Linux I know nothing about, nada, diddly but Linux people love it.

I only like MS-DOS because I am so used to it now and I never had any of
the prejudices against MS-DOG, Mickey-DOS or Messy-DOS but I do detest
Windoze because it is little more than an unwieldy, complicated, bloated
MS-DOS shell and is a brute to use. Also 95 and 98 versions make problems
for programs which ran perfectly well under earlier Windoze versions.

But, but, but...I like FORTE AGENT offline newsreader so for that I have
to use Windoze 3.11 and for a few of my games collection.

I do not know if there is a DOS version of LYNX but a simple search for
LYNX on the search engine www.altavista.com might show something.
