Along the way to implementing the full MSWINDOWS lynx for Windows 3.1,
I just posted a copy of the slrn news reader using libslang and my
own Dos console code to the Usenet binaries group
alt.binaries.news-server-comparison
The next step in the porting process is to work on the lynx source for
a similar port.
This is a compressed, archived, latest beta of the 16-bit Windows
version of the Unix SLRN news reader. It is statically linked to
the libslang library and the wstdio console library. The executable
would be 1/2 to the present size if library DLLs were used. To send
mail from the news reader, you need to find the `sendsmtp' program
on the internet, and modify the configuration (slrn.rc) file accordingly.
Features include:
- Mouse capability (with the -m option)
- For Windows 3, converts internal file names of any size
to (8,3) file names
- Not a Windows console app, so can be subclassed to include,
e. g., copy-and-paste and font selection.
- Not a Windows console app, so can use, e. g., Windows
asynchronous socket calls. (to do)
- slrn configuration file (slrn.rc) debugged for Windows use
