a list of the CHANGES incorporated into fotemods.zip since the last update 
announcement follows:

1997-07-02
* Mods in LYDownload.c and LYPrint.c to treat a suggested output file
  entry of "/dev/null" on Unix, and "nl:" or "/nl/" paths on VMS (case
  insensitive), as a cancel (^G). - FM
* Mods in LYGetFile.c to include URLs with content from a form submission
  with method GET in the group for which Referer headers are never sent,
  because the content might include private (e.g., password or credit
  card) information which should not be visible in Referer logs. - FM
* Added -G 7 to the LYFLAGS and MCFLAGS for the ultrix and ultrix-slang
  Makefile targets when using the native ultrix compiler. - HM
* Added -DNSL_FORK to the LYFLAGS for all of the solaris2 and linux
  targets. - FM
1997-06-30
* Removed a redundant declaration in UCdomap.c which was causing some
  compilers to balk. - FM
* Fixed typos in SGML.c which could cause echoing of numeric character
  references for some of the display character sets. - FM
1997-06-29
* Worked in KW's chartrans support, casting all of its code to the Lynx
  Programming Style, adapting it for features not yet included in the
  development code set, and adding a build procedure for VMS.  With this
  support, the display character set need not match the document's charset
  when the latter is not iso-8859-1.  See the README files in src/chrtrans
  for more information.  Three new configuration symbols (ASSUME_CHARSET,
  ASSUME_LOCAL_CHARSET, and ASSUME_UNREC_CHARSET) and command line switches
  (-assume_charset=MIMEname, -assume_local_charset=MIMEname, and
  -assume_unrec_charset=MIMEname) are added.  See lynx.cfg for more
  information about them. - FM
* Updated lynx.hlp, lynx.man and the online 'h'elp concerning the chartrans
  support. - FM
1997-06-26
* Tweak of the "tag and attribute soup" parsing mods in HTML.c so that the
  PLAIN attribute works for UL blocks again. - FM
* More tweaks of LYMainLoop.c to issue informative statusline messages
  about attempts to ACTIVATE, DOWNLOAD, or submit URLs or ACTIONs which
  are disallowed in the current context and destined to fail, rather than
  acting on them and generating actual failures. - FM
* Mods of LYmktime() in LYUtils.c to support dd-mm-yyyy format for expires
  headers and cookie attributes. - FM
* Oops, hadn't included checks for whether there are links on the page
  in this morning's LYMainLoop.c mods to ensure appropriate statusline
  messages for attempts to bookmark special URLs that can't be bookmarked,
  which could yield a crash it there aren't any.  The checks are in there
  now. - FM
* Added ability to bookmark links from the Lynx List Page, as from the
  Visited Links Page, but not for those pages, themselves, since they
  are temporary files.  Note that Lynx List Page links will not have
  the documents' titles, as do those in the Visited Links Page, unless
  you've visited them before invoking the Lynx List Page. - FM
* Added explicit protections against buffer overruns in the LYDownload.c
  handling of suggested filenames. - FM
