Hi,

my problems using MS-DOS-6.22 with WGET.EXE from the LYNX package are:

- I am blind since about 15 years;

- I am already 73 and DOS user - exclusively;

- I refuse to browse due to the slowlyness with speech output;

- I prefer to save cost and read important text files offline.

Though in many cases this WGET utility is very useful, downloading text
spreading over multiple pages, however, seems not to be possible with it. 
If - for instance - you are interested in a text report on a nwew cell
phone, due to the browser switches at the end of each screen, it is
impossible to receive the complete text with a DOS program like WGET.

Following are my questions:

- Is there a WGET version existing for DOS, which has an option to enable
you to download the complete multi-page text and nothing else?

- Are there other DOS programs existing which can do this?

I wonder if something like this exists ...

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Peter Lindner
