Thank you for testing the Dillo browser for DOS.

The enclosed user guide mentions that long file names are required. I load doslfn when running it under real mode DOS.

Without doslfn loaded Dillo will not find the truetype fonts. These have been ported from Linux and therefore have these long names. There are so many font names and these in bold, italic etc that one would have to rename the fonts to numbers I guess to get them into 8:3 format. The code in Dillo, FLTK plus Xlib would have to be changed for that too. So just load doslfn for now.

The .dillo and .flkt directories are in the ZIP archive, so they should already be present when you unzip the archive with doslfn loaded.
Dillo will work without these, just output error messages that it could not find the files in these directories. If you move the Dillo window over the remains of these messages you wipe them out.

Georg
