Hi guys,
I'm trying out an internet legacy bridge
product called "SlipKnot" -- or at least
I'm trying to.
SlipKnot is a magical little program that
runs on a Win(16) or -- theoretically --
a Win(32) machine, and provides a graphical
interface to Lynx running on a *nix box.
That is, you connect to a *nix box (telnet
session style) and run this thing. It uses
scripts on the *nix box to fetch and pass
data to the Win(16/32) machine, on which
SlipKnot is running, and SlipKnot renders
the pages graphically there.
SlipKnot evidently has some cool offline
caching features and, if you think it through,
the product is completely scripting-immune.
BUT: I can't get it to install on my Win98
box. On running SETUP.EXE, I get a message
small window that alleges it's initialising
setup.
That's all.
Anyone have any insight? I'd love to try
this thing out. For those people with metered
dial-up connections and a shell account, this
has real promise.
Regards,
Garry
