DOS ain't dead

If you are nitpicking, you shall doubt whether anyone knows how many
Windows (or DOS) browsers exist. For number is finite, but can only
be estimated, not determined. So, the above assertion is practically
unprovable, but can be disproved in a straightforward way,
by showing one browser that works under Win98 and supports
TLS 1.2, exactly what Roytam did, and I am glad he did.
I have not yet tried Links 2.16 or 2.17 in my DOS machine, but do
not have high hopes, for even version 2.8 was too much for an old
computer -- a 486DX-50 with 16MB of RAM.

Thank you for the hint. I missed this, because I hadn't
looked at that project in MSFN for more than 1 yr.
I hope i shall be able to post some comments there later.

I didn't know about Retrozilla, an updated Mozilla for old Win9x come handy. But when I tried to view a Github page with it I just got an error:
RetroZilla can't connect securely to github.com because the site uses a security protocol which isn't enabled.
(now running it from WXP-SP3)
Under Win98SE it says:
RetroZilla can't connect securely to github.com because the SSL protocol has been disabled.

I can access Github via Links 2.17 from DOS.
