Put Links2 & Lynx on the 4.52 image you provided. When the pages loaded up on
Links2 faster than in Firefox on 10...surprised me. Now...to just find time
to get another copy of it over on the Lenovo box.

Both of us are in the same boat with JS. With CSS/HTML...making some of those
projects gave me the same feeling almost like the wife giving birth to a new
born. Wanted to show it off to everyone & brag about what I had done...with
everything working but the JS.

Forgot about that...with everything else going on right now. This stupid
virus...setting up OS/2 to host the BBS & working different schedules without
getting enough sleep. With the stores closing on Sunday nationwide...that's
another day off for a total of 3 in a row.

Found a ton of dox last night on setting up TG with Squish/JAM...*.CMD files
to use. Must have spent an hour printing them off...while having Father Brown
on BritBox to keep me company.

As long as I can export *.BBS files out from whatever program...that will
save a ton of work in the future.

That would be KEWL!!! Never ran Spitfire...but I remember it being 1 of the
big ones back in the day.

I have DB running under ArcaOS. Whether or not it's totally native...it does
have support for it & runs very well.

He put out a preview version. The MUTIL/MIS stuff was missing...but the file
base worked on it. For something he put out with the easy parts done...it
looked fantastic.
