AFAIK, Links' DOS versions use a built-in mouse driver, so the wheel support should be included. I also can't test this function as my motherboard has only USB, and the wheel is not translated to PS/2 by the CSM. There are many things that would be useful though. For example a DOS Gateway Interface, instead of which I currently use the magnet: protocol. Also an option to load external fonts would be great, but it's entirely out of concept for Mikulaš, I think. Installing the required packages to compile it on DOS is a pain in the a... and still not did that. What's more, the glyphs must be provided as individual pixels to extend the built-in fonts, and I don't have a good method to mass-convert unicode fonts to pictures. Although I'll ask him about the wheel support. :)

DOS isn't about why. It's about why not.
