DOStodon
(ver 26.January.2024)
Freeware


What is old is new once more.  Mastodon is a 
Social Networking platform that functions much 
like a graphical version of oldschool News Groups.  
However unlike NetNews, it uses the ActivityPub
protocol over HTTP instead of the NNTP protocol.  

To connect to a Mastodon Server, you simply tell 
DOStodon the URL of the server you wish to connect 
with, along with your Mastodon account login email 
address and password.

DOStodon is not a program per se, but rather a DOJS 
"Java Script" script that (like Commodore Amiga 
computer scripts used to do to access Social 
Networking) pulls together a suite of disparate 
DOS programs to form a Client that can access a 
Mastodon Server on the Internet  


Although I have not personally tested it, this 
DOStodon package should contain everything needed 
to access Mastodon (including DOJS, WATTCP.CFG, 
cURL, and CWSDMPI), with the exception of a 
PC/TCP Packet driver for Internet access.  
Note that you can update the individual programs 
in this package should you desire (although 
updated software will be bundled with future 
versions of DOStodon packages).
