Re: [Lynx-dev] latest mac edition of Lynx?

[Karen Lewellen]

Travis,
As expressed, this question is not for me, with your answers far afield 
from the  simple information sought.
on the lynx.browser.org page mac os x is listed as an option, with my 
recalling  a list member getting help using that edition for site testing.
However, that does not tell me what the current lynx edition is for mac, 
which is the question I was asked.
best,
Karen
