Doug,

It does for me.

And I am using MSDOS 6.20 on a FAT16 partition, and without 4DOS.
I have no FAT32 partitions. I only have 4 FAT16 DOS partitions and 4 Ext2 Linux partitions.
When running DOS browsers, I also run a RAM disk containing /temp directory.

So am I, and both versions behave exactly the same.

Possibly, but none that I think could affect the way Links accepts a URL.
4DOS may even be involved here. I have found that use of 4DOS does affect some DOS software, including some of my own.
That is why I don't use 4DOS.

And mine are scattered over c:\links28, c:\linksnew, and d:\test\links2, as well as e:\elinks.
All perform just fine on local drives.

It does on my system.

It does on my system, but I do not use any kind of TUI, just the DOS CL.
