2.8.5 is a development release of lynx, not a stable one:

Lynx Version 2.8.5dev.16 (01 Jun 2003)

Do we want to standardize on a development version of some tools? It is
only converting to text, so I guess it is OK.

I downloaded the version of lynx Tom has just so I can generate the
newer output. The only difference between my 2.8.3 lynx and 2.8.5 is
that 2.8.5 trips spaces on blank lines used between headings, which is
good.

I have also rebuilt the HISTORY file in CVS to match our official style
sheets.

I can help you because I just installed new tools a few months ago. I
will phone you.
