  • Mystic browser mod

    From Richard Fairman@3:770/3 to All on Tue Dec 17 13:19:05 2019
    I've seen a mystic mod that displays text from web pages such as wikipedia
    Does anyone know what the mod is, and where to download from

    Regards

    Thanks

    I think that only works for a local search of wiki

    I have downloaded the file

    Your bbs locked up twice when I attempted a download Sorry for that you may have to clear some nodes

    I am using the text only lynx browser to access wiki. I can run it from mystic but it only runs locally
    Any ideas to open an external program In a mystic node so can be accessed remotely

    Thanks

    I saw that. Very weird. I was on at the same time it had you logged in but I think you had left at that point. Will have to take a look and see what the problem is. Might be time to move off this old computer.

    I'm running win 10 and linux on the windows sub system I have no idea on setting up a public browser client The guy at scramworks say he will help but has not replied yet. I can run the windows version of elinks and the linux version from mystic on
    windows but they only open locally so need a way of opening them in a mystic node from a remote location or terminal It may not be possible at all using mystic That's why I thought about setting up my own client The scramworks client is in Germany so
    opens in German. Datanet bbs has a text browser that you can choose to open google wikipedia etc but I dont know how his browser is implemented

    Regards
