Subject: Lynx software

I have spent some time trying to download a copy of the Lynx software for
our Discovery terminal, with no luck. I have tried several sites. When
I tried to unzip the files there were error messages. It appeared that
what I received was corrupted or incomplete. I tried downloading both
from a terminal with dial-up access and a networked terminal.
When I asked one of our
community partners to try for a good copy, he came back saying he found 5
sites but they had been "shut down" - he believed because the software is no
longer being supported. I tried to find a copy I could purchase,
unsuccessfully. Our network consultant was unable to provide the software
either. Is it true that Lynx will not be updated and is no longer available?
