Hi, Keep in mind that I'm not very savvy about networking, so this is just links (no pun intended!) to various things!

I don't know. Presumably Google is just pushing (too) hard these days for everything to be HTTPS/SSL + Javascript and similar (which Arachne doesn't support, IIRC). Heck, even YouTube and Gmail (partially) whine about Iceweasel 22.0, which (AFAIK) is barely two years old. > Ready to settle for the speed and stability of text mode, I turned next > to Lynx, but I couldn't seem to get a good download of Lynx 2.8.7. I've not tried it, but iBiblio has this: 1). http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/net/lynx/2.8.7/ There's also a newer 2.8.8 build by Juan for DJGPP (under /beta/v2tk/), but it sounds very complicated to setup, so I never bothered. 2). https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.os.msdos.djgpp/flY264GkHV8 > So I tried Dillo, which is graphical.

It's also available here: 3). http://sourceforge.net/projects/fltk-dos/files/Applications/Binary%20versions%20of%20FLTK%20applications/ You could also try D+ (which evolved from Dillo-Win32, which I think was loosely based upon Georg's work as well): 4). http://sourceforge.net/projects/dplus-browser/files/Releases/dplus-0.5b/ > Perhaps someone here will have more to say on the topic of web browsers. One of the better choices these days would be Links2: 5). http://links.twibright.com/ 6). http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/net/links/ 7). http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/board_entry.php?id=14199 IIRC, the "lite" .EXE lacks both HTTPS/SSL and graphical support, unlike the full version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
