I noticed Lynx kept changing my window title. According to the source code it
was a call to SetConsoleTitle, part of the Windows API. Rather than modifying
the Lynx source code I wrote a short console program in Visual C++ which I can
use after exiting Lynx. It compiled under Visual Studio 2010 demo version to a
7168 byte executable.
Then I created a version of the program to compile under GCC. I felt this
version was simpler in the code because I was able to dispense with wide
character handling, and I guess that's possible in Visual C++ but I think it
might require changing some obscure compiler settings. The result was 9728
bytes when compiled with default gcc settings.
These may not be appropriate to use with an xterm window.
