Someone posted information regarding a new compile of the browser for DOS.
Where, BTTR's forum??
Though, in an unrelated discussion, I just now noticed that it was
updated (2.20) yesterday!
I recall the post claiming it is the ideal tool for the modern DOS user.
It's a nice tool, but it doesn't do any huge miracles.
two questions for anyone using this new compile.
It's been targeting DOS/DJGPP for a few years now (at least since
2014), so it's not really that "new".
First, does it incorporate, unlike some of the Linux editions, cookies?
Don't know.
second, how well does it manage things like ssl in a pure DOS desktop?
The main version (not "lite") has support for HTTPS and SSL via some
DJGPP libraries. The main binary also optionally supports graphics
(unlike "lite").
Of course simply directing me to a place where the browser is under
discussion will help as well.
I'm not aware of any official place, but you can always check BTTR's
forum or maybe discuss it here (freedos-user).
Again, note that, while incredibly impressive and quite useful, Links2
is not going to "save the (DOS) world". It probably still lacks some
things or has bugs or missing functionality. (No Javascript support,
last I checked.) Nevertheless, it already seems very, very good.
