DosLynx v0.24b finally contains an initial installment of forms support! Other enhancements in this version include support, in the news client, for yEncoded data. And an additional push button, in the Navigate|Find... dialog box, for selecting a case insensitive (loose) search. A few more bug fixes make this the strongest running version of DosLynx, ever.
There are a couple other readme files for DosLynx. One is the again updated README.HTM which still tells about the original features, command line parameters, and other important stuff. There is also a history file which describes the major changes I've made in bringing Doslynx from v0.22b to v0.24b. The history file also contains known bugs or missing features. If you find one that isn't there, or don't like something about the way the Forms support is shaping up, please email me at fmacall@nccw.net. Finally, Wayne S. Buttles has provided a little cheat sheet of the key commands to run Doslynx from the keyboard. It includes ones he added.
Remember that you can navigate with your numeric key pad by putting Num Lock ON.
DosLynx no longer contains a built-in graphics viewer. That has been replaced with a swap out and call to DLXVIEW with a parameter naming the .BMP, .GIF, .JPG, .PCX, or .TIF file to be viewed. You may edit DLXVIEW.BAT to invoke your favorite viewer. The DosLynx v0.24b package contains a sample DLXVIEW.BAT which invokes LXPIC (requires CGA+).
As Wayne said: "I have enhanced DosLynx for my own personal enjoyment. It will never be as good as the ['386+ based] versions of Lynx, but at least it is better than nothing. . . . 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 compatible with the lowest IBM-Compatible 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.
