MIPS at it’s best
Over the last few days, I’ve received a few ports of some software for Windows NT 4.0 MIPS, that I am sure the rest of everyone will be interested in.
The first one provided by nandhp is lynx, the text mode browser! While it may not seem like a super big deal, it *IS* a http 1.1 compliant browser, and it is more useful then Internet Explorer 2.0.
The next, also by nandhp is putty! So now you can ssh out into the world!
I’ve also received unzip & gzip for handling compressed files.. .No word on a tar yet. For now I’m using gnutar for MS-DOS.
And finally I took my quakeworld for MS-DOS with some of the SDL parts merged in to provide a preliminary QuakeWorld for the MIPS.
What is more cool, is that there is still people out there playing Quake. I suspect the non intel numbers are pretty low.
At any rate, enjoy!
crazy things 🙂
My friend Del uses Windows NT 4.0 on a MIPS system with Internet Explorer 3.0 and gets this error in his linked video about the protocol not being right and blank. But otherwise the K5 scoop site works.
beats me.. I’m more surprised that anyone uses nt 4.0, let alone the MIPS version..
