Hi Lukas,

Some port of Linux GUI... There are Arachne, Dillo, Links, Lynx and others, but they all do not support the newest generation of HTTPS security and they all do not support much JavaScript. Both are very widespread in the modern world wide web, alas. One very fresh Links binary is https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/net/links/2.23/ A while ago, I have tried a few "lightweight" browsers in Linux: Otter Browser, Falkon and those mentioned already for DOS, with the exception of Arachne. Because I was upset about Chrome and Firefox burning gigabytes of RAM. Unfortunately, none of the more lightweight browsers was able to display anywhere near "most" of the websites I would have liked to visit with it. I think Firefox for DOS would not be the right answer either. > Some article about bridging old IPX/SPX DOS apps over TCP/IP would be nice. I am sure that there are articles about that already, I hope somebody else answers. But why bridging? For LAN game parties which are proxied around the world instead of getting to meet for them in person? :-) > Some real example of LFN (LDIR commands) would be nice. How about DIR /LFN for that?

You need to be more specific about that. > Cherry on top would be example with LFN and Samba. Note that MSCLIENT does not support modern Windows networks and you will have a hard time to configure your server to be old and insecure enough to use it from DOS at all. We do have a SMBCLIENT for DOS, though, probably with LFN support? It works a bit like an FTP client, so you can use commands to copy files. It does not "mount" the drive directly, so you cannot just give it a drive letter. But again, MSCLIENT is very outdated, so SMBCLIENT is probably still an idea. Note that we do have VMSMOUNT which "mounts" VMWare drives using the guest/host interface provided for that by VMWare.
