Subj : Back to OS/2... To : Don Lowery From : Sean Dennis Date : Wed Apr 08 2020 16:26:44 Hello Don. 07 Apr 20 19:56, you wrote to me: DL> If I remember right...it had no problems with HTML 5 sites.

It is Links2 that has a graphics mode by default. Links has to be built specifically to use graphics.

Take a look at the code I use in the header of my webpages. HTML 5 makes it real easy to support mobile browsers. I don't know JS and am not planning on learning it either. DL> Liked being able to know where to update your doors. I don't know if you know or not but when I update or create software, I hatch it out in MIN_MISC so you should get a copy of it automatically if you're set up to receive the Micronet filebones. I admit that's why I created MIN_MISC when I started Micronet; it was another avenue to hatch out my doors because I didn't trust and still don't completely trust the Fidonet filebone system. DL> WOW...hadn't come across that being mentioned. Have D'Bridge setup as DL> a mailer to pass on my packets to FE.

FE strips the seen-by kludge lines when it's not supposed to making mail just disappear. Andrew Leary can explain it better than I can. I have talked with Nick about not only Squish/JAM support but directly supporting Spitfire BBS's native message base format (I am a registered Spitfire BBS sysop). I've also talked to Nick about a native OS/2 version but that would mean a massive rewrite of DB ... not something I'd want to force on him but if it did happen, I'd switch to DB here. DL> The reason to look at TG was if Mystic is ever out with an OS/2 DL> version...would just copy the stuff over & act like nothing was DL> changed. I swear he put out a beta OS/2 version recently ... I thought he announced it in BBS_CARNIVAL. I checked my message base and couldn't find it. Checked his website and it's not there either. DL> One good thing...the CEO of the company just mentioned they are DL> closing all stores for Easter day. Very unusual...since the only days DL> previously have been Thanksgiving/Xmas. That's nice. :) DL> Thanks again for all the help. Sure thing. Glad to put all of these years tinkering to good use. :D Later, Sean --- GoldED/2 3.0.1 * Origin: Micronet World HQ - bbs.outpostbbs.net:10123 (618:618/1) .
