Welcome to the FDISK.COM DOS Internet Pages. These pages are a bit messy at the moment as I am collecting links to break out into separate information areas. If you were looking for the main Lynx home page it is at lynx.browser.org.

Four great packages of internet tools put together by John Lewis. Make sure you run them from a subdirectory--DIALNET is recommended. Also use -y as a command line option to avoid being asked if you want to create each new subdirectory.

John Lewis has made quite a few very helpful programs/modifications for DOS users. There are four listed here, but you should check his site first to see if he has newer versions.

b386-e01.exe
This package has never been issued before, but has been bouncing around since the spring 1998. It has been designed to replace Bobcat for persons with a 386 and above and get rid of the memory problems.. It looks and acts much like Bobcat, has a choice of script or pap install, a much faster display and speed meter too.

dlnx-e03.exe
A ppp package that installs like Bobcat ( with scripit) but contains the latest doslynx (0.16) together with all of Wayne Janzen's new stuff for doslynx users..

qnos-e01.exe
A good NOS package... the fastest dos telnet and ftp I have used. Might be useful for someone. Installs with Bobcat format with ppp or pap.

trt-e01.exe
A traceroute package... interesting dos project that allows you to trace your packets routing through to server. Installs to work with ppp or pap servers.

Wayne Janzen has made updates for the supporting files For DOSLYNX and a page of search engine query scripts. He had also repackaged the SpeedScript Editor with his own extra info.

Miguel Ángel submitted a config converter from arachne to bobcat called Arac2cfg

Sam Heywood made a nice batch file to create a "mailto:" template. Then you return to Bobcat, access the template, compose your message and send it.
