Hi len, Actually, that is not what I am using here. One of the positives of the Linux community, at least from an innovative creative standpoint is that some decide to port Linux tools, including JavaScript, for other operating systems. Freedos, www.freedos.org
Is a currently developed edition of DOS with many such tools. There is a largely commercial project of DOS..which I am likely about to misspell, djppp. In any case, there is a port of Links, which is considered to be largely an open source Linux browser, for DOS. It allows me to do many things I cannot do when I ssh into any of the three Linux shells I use. One of them is actually visit and log into the Toronto public Library website. In theory, Links is a graphical browser, it has JavaScript, or can, if compiled with the ability. So, I am not using ssh to go anywhere..I did try that smiles. Elinks, which is even more, or can be even more graphical if compiled that way..locks me into a you are being redirected loop. My hope was that something might be salvageable via either of these graphical Linux browsers.
Oh right you can run some of the text browsers directly on DOS instead. -- Len Sorensen
