Good to know, it used to be unstable. Well, I shall be quite darned. A post on the Lynx forum (strange place for it) says Arachne and DosLynx have returned from the dead. Somebody should keep a list somewhere of currently maintained DOS browsers.
http://macall.net/info.htm http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/forum_entry.php?id=18569 In the unlikely case that somebody stumbles upon this threat looking for advice, my two cents follow: If you only try one, try Links. That said, although it's harder to set up (infernal options that don't save unless you edit config), Lynx (the original, I haven't tried DosLynx yet) is rock solid and you can also surf the nearly forgotten gopher tunnels that live just under the surface of the www. They both do TLS just fine. On Tue, Jan 11, 2022 at 5:22 PM Louis Santillan <lpsan...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes.
