Win32s 1.25 takes about 1.8MB on my drive; I got my copy with a CD-ROM game that needed it. Win32s 1.30c is available from Microsoft's Web site, but AFAIK it doesn't work with Win-OS/2.

True enough.. but if you are referring to using Netscape Navigator... well... shortly after Merlin is released, Netscape Navigator/2 v2.02 for OS/2 will be available for d/l from the Netscape homepage or from IBM directly... so there is no need for Win-OS/2 and netscape.. it'll be included... and I'll be sure to buy/register/pay for Netscape/2 if any costs are incurred...

I assume you mean: you changed something from a Win-OS/2 setup, and the setup program requests reboot. The programs just exits back to OS/2. That's exactly the reboot it requested, because when all Win-OS/2 programs have exited the Win-OS/2 is no longer in memory. The next time you use Win-OS/2 programs you'll have the updated settings. --- GoldED/2 * Origin: ... only a hobby, it's only a hobby, it's ...

JS> I make changes, the system starts the reboot sequence, and JS> then nothing.. (program exits and does not reboot) Do you mean like when you change a driver and Windows asks "Restart Windows"? That works fine here. Look at the settings for your windows object. Under program name is it running WIN.COM, or is it running Progman.exe? If it's progman.exe, that would cause it. Try it from a Windows full screen session. Later --- * Origin: Discover!
