Great News!
Has anyone tested the new version yet? Particularly the javascr***... I know it's way too old, but does it actually improved anything? Are there any basic things Links used NOT to do that it does now via javascr***?
Right now I cannot use my DOS machine connected to the internet.
Thanks.
