RE: FTP site problems

I use lynx on my unix account with similar problems, but I can download
the file. If I press <RETURN> when the file is highlighted, I get garbage
on the screen. If I press <D> to download the file when it is highlighted
it downloads and then gives me an option to save. This way works fine and
everything un-shrinks ok on my //e.

A while back somebody posted a method to get lynx to recognize shrinkit
and binaryII extentions. I tried this and it works great! Now when I
press <RETURN> on a highlighted filename it tells me that it cannot
display this file, do I want to download it. (which of course I do)

The file you need is called .mime.types - that is with a preceding dot
(.) Mine is in my $HOME dir and has rw-r--r-- permissions. I can run lynx
from any dir and it work's great. I can't remember the http address of
the guy's page where I got it from, so here it is..

I am afraid not all freenets here in the US allow that option.
Youngstown freenet does not, maybe NYX does.
