DOS ain't dead

webdump 2024-05-23 (Announce)

Just for the reference, you can also use Links web browser to dump a formated text version of the site.

links -dump file.htm > file.txt

Caveats: No UTF8 support. DOS also outputs stderr to the redirected file.

For example this is the dump of Micheal Brutman's DOS TCP/IP networking guide.

I compared it with the dump from Linux version of Links and, at first glance, everything looks the same.

Links also has some additional rendering options that might be useful sometimes. For example you can force it to make a numbered and referenced list of all links on the page. Or you can disable HTML tables or frame rendering.

P.S. I'll also test webdump to see how well it works.

P.P.S. Links dumps UTF8 on Linux and Windows.
