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.

It has to do when you send inter-zone mail.  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.

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.

That's nice. 

 DL> Thanks again for all the help.

Sure thing.  Glad to put all of these years tinkering to good use. 

Later,
Sean
