DOS ain't dead

DHCP / Watt / WATTCP.CFG / WSTEST / OWB / MPXPLAY FTP / D&A (Users)

Watt has a new page: http://home.broadpark.no/~gvanem/ (was "www.bgnett.no/~giva" )

regrettably it doesn't work that well ...



That's what WSTEST.EXE brews if it works (address is $FFFF'FFFF - valid ??? redirect not found ...). But in some cases it hangs instead with DHCP waiting (gives up too late or not at all).

Same for OWB - sometimes it works and sometimes not. BTW, OWB can process the JavaScript on RapidSh** - the "countdown" runs to ZERO and then the big download button comes up. Regrettably clicking it has no effect (and OWB can't download from reasonable servers either ... ).

MPXPLAY is worse ... with 1.57b4 it always hangs, if it gets aborted, it "returns to DOS", but MPXPLAY screen is still on and the keyboard is disabled - not even CTL-ALT-DEL works So, I was not able to test the FTP fixes ...

Oddly, I never have such problems with Arachne nor DOSLynx, they always work (if DOSLYNX.CFG is correct).
