DosLynx

If you are reading this, then you should be running a version of DosLynx which has been modified, enhanced and bug infected by Wayne Buttles, lynx-help@wsb.champlain.edu.

Please be advised that this is STILL alpha software, which means it is known to crash computers when something goes wrong. If you elect to use this software, you do so at your own risk. If you do use DosLynx 0.9a or above, I would like to receive feedback on bugs or missing features. Please be as specific as possible.

There are a couple readme files for DosLynx. One is the original 0.7a/0.8a README.HTM which tells about the original features and other important stuff. There is also a changelog that I am keeping as I change DosLynx trying to make it better. The changelog also contains know bugs or missing features. If you find one that isn't there, please email me at lynx-help@wsb.champlain.edu. Finally, I have made a little cheat sheet of the key commands to run Doslynx from the keyboard which includes ones which I have added.

DosLynx still has no forms support. I am no grand programmer, so I don't know if it will ever make it. I do have something that will help a little for the forms-impaired. The following is a short list of sites with work with DosLynx's simple search feature. When you go, just press F7 for the search dialog.

I have enhanced DosLynx for my own personal enjoyment. It will never be as good as the Unix version of Lynx, but at least it is better than nothing. Do not flame me for bugs or missing features. I did not create the original code. I am just releasing my changes to the general public in hopes that it will help some other Dos User. I have made every attempt to keep it compatable with the lowest IBM-Compatable computer so that the greatest number of people can benefit and I will continue to do so as long as I play with the code.

Good luck, and happy browsing.
Wayne.
