  • MicroWeb: A 8088+ Web Browser for DOS: NEW!

    From hyjinx@21:1/126 to All on Sun Aug 8 16:24:57 2021
    Hi All,

    If, like me for som bizarre reason you love retro computing and actually use
    a retro computer for quazi-real reason, then you'll love this project:

    https://github.com/jhoward/MicroWeb

    This gent has made a web browser runing in graphics mode (Hercules works too, native support for CGA, EGA and VGA). It supports rodents, but a mouse is not required. Whilst it doesn't display images yet, the author may support images in a future release, so I'm excited about its future!

    Expect an Al's Geek Lab video soon!

    Cheers,
    Al

    Dude, great find... as you know I've been digging on Frogfind and 68k.news and this is a nice little DOS proggy; thanks for sharing, I hadn't yet heard of it.

    Expect an Al's Geek Lab video soon!

    Even better. I'll keep an eye out - I am always up for more text and retro www content!

    That's what I get for typing out URI's manually on a 35 year old computer ;)
