Re: A modern BBS

I just fired up an old copy of Lynx under Win32, and was able to even use Google.? It in no way requires a mouse - it uses key strokes to select the next/previous "clickable" item (or text field).? I don't know how this would map to an ASCII keyboard, instead of using the extra keys on a PC keyboard, but I bet it's been handled.? As Bob Kay said, it handles most non-JavaScript cases OK.? It even knows about cookies, allowing you to accept or reject them as they go by (or always or never).? It did not seem to handle secure websites (), which rules out an ever-increasing number of sites - the majority, even - that do not offer a non-secure connection.

Taking a quick look at the source, it all looks to be in pretty plain-Jane C (as in, even I, who tend to write FORTRAN in every language, can understand it).? It may be a bit of a tight fit in 64k (well, 48k TPA), but it might work.? If it's possible at all, I believe it would be a relatively simple project compared to, say, porting LCC to the 1802, as Bill Rowe did.
