In your initial question you mentioned a person on a mailing list.  In a
later reply you mentioned a coworker with a 2011 system.  Since I was
not looking at the first post at that time, I made the assumption that
these were the same person.  You are the one who introduced a separate
and (as you say) irrelevant person.  I am the one who mistook that for a
repeat reference to the original person needing the info.

Because it was not clear that these were separate entities.

The initial form of your question was confusing because list members
here expect all versions of Lynx to work on all versions of Mac OS.  It
would be like asking 'has this car been tested with Brooklyn pavements?'
-- the respondents are flustered by the oddity of the question.

If you said 'I'm trying to help someone who needs Lynx on a Mac, where
can they get it?' nobody would have been confused.  The answer would
still be a little difficult because of the messy interaction Mac OS has
with open source.

I'm glad your list member will now be able to get Lynx going; and, one
hopes, successfully drive their braille and/or voice assistive devices.
