autofail=yes worked, thanks for your help. The window was headed "

happening now. Incidentally Checkini also comes up with the message
"Drive A not read, and I have to insert a diskette or click on button to

Subj: netscape 4.61 print problem

From: Charles Borg <[e-mail]>

I have been encouraged by having previous problems solved on this list.
I have another problem. Netscape 4.61 one day stopped printing. I still
have the same printers installed . When I check printer jobs after
clicking the print icon this is empty although the system goes through
the motions of informing me that it is printing the appropriate pages.
At the moment I am copying to Enhanced Editor and printing from there.Is
there a solution to this? Thanks

From: Jack Wise <"[e-mail]"@hal-pc.org>

I had no problems.  Plextor has a long history of providing OS/2 drivers
and support.  The OS/2 installation program will probably automatically
identify the CD-ROM but if not, you can select is during the install
process.

Ihave a 28MB EA file on my boot partition. It was about 2.5-3MB, then I had

Hi,  at least that's good to know.

I've not been able to install warp 4.  It looks like the 1 of the 3 install
disks are bad. Tried making new ones from the CD, that didn't work.  Looks
like I got both a bad install disk & CD.  I bought the warp cd from someone in
ebay.

installation hung at the black screen after boot manager.  there was an
error message on a file.

1.    Use nescape 2.02 for a browser, pronews for your
newsgroups and Postroad for your email - all viable and in
their own way better than Comm 4.61- I have had only had
problems with it.
2.    For anyone that cares - there seems to be a slow
persistent leak of memory whilst using 4.61 and then there
is the  stopped download problem eg I cannot retrieve Java
118 with 4.61 without it stopping without completion.
3.    Machine details P75 with 128MB RAM, 2 x 1 GB IDE drives
IDE CD ROM. SCSI tape and SCSI HD, Boot manager with OS/2
booting from the SCSI drive (HPFS Format) WARP 4 with FP 9.

CHKDSK /F will remove any orphan EA's and reduce the size of the file if
any are misallocated. If it doesn't help then you really have that number
of EAs. The problem comes because each file that has an EA will allocate a
cluster of disk space to hold that EA. Each file that has more than one EA
will share the same cluster with the other EAs for that file (up until the
total exceeds the cluster size when another cluster will be allocated).
Separate files do not share EA clusters and each has its own.

On a FAT partition greater than 1GB the cluster size is 32KB so your 28MB
EA DATA. SF file means that you have approximately 890 files with an EA.

Subj: JavaScript bug in String.search() in Communicator 4.61[de]-990915 for O

From: "Rolf Lochb?hler" <[e-mail]>

It seems that the search method in the following HTML+JavaScript
code - which is an excerpt of an actual webpage - always returns
-1 in Netscape Communicator 4.61[de]-990915 for OS/2:

<html>
<head>
<title>Test of search method</title>
<script language="javascript">
function validate()
  {
  rc = document.forms[0].email.value.search(/[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+/)
  if( rc < 0 )
    {
    alert( "Invalid e-mail address" );
    return false;
    }
  else
    {
    alert( "Valid e-mail address" );
    return true;
    }
  }
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>
Enter your email address:
</p>
<p>
<form onsubmit="return validate()">
<input type="text" name="email" size="40" maxlength="40" value="">
</form>
</p>
</body>
</html>

I also checked Netscape Communicator 4.06[en]-98225 for
Windows and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.72.3110. Neither
of them shows this behavior. Also, Netscape 4.something
for AIX works fine.

By the way, using \@ instead of @ in the regular expression
didn't seem to make a difference. In the Windows browsers
both versions gave the same results, in the OS/2 browser
neither version didn't work.

Well, after you look again in the dictionary for the
spelling of the word "could," <:-))  I think you
should look in comp.os.os2.bugs again.  Go to Deja
News & do a search on author Irv Spalten.  Don't
search on the subject of Mouse.  Look strictly for
posts from Irv within the past 2 months.  He
explained in great detail that there was some mixup
in the way the mouse driver was installed.  I think
it was in the Device Driver Fix Pack but I don't
really remember clearly.

You can start by running CHKDSK /F on the FAT partition in question.

Try using GRADD or SDD drivers, DIVE works fine here with those drivers

I did a CHKDSK /F on it, but it reduced the EA file by about 1MB only. Since
this system partition had a much smaller EA .SF file before the semi-crash, I
think the file has been corrupted soemhow -- ie, it  contains a lot of
garbage, or maybe duplicate entries or something.

So I think I still have a problem....

From: Michael W. Cocke <[e-mail]>

What's "Workspace for e-business"?  If you meant "Warp Server for
E-Business", I've installed OD 2.0 on it.  It doesn't work real well -
there's a real nifty way to crash a WSeB system dead in it (use Object
Navigator) - but most of it works.  Stardock doesn't want to hear about
it, so I don't want to hear about Stardock anymore.

Also, don't install Object Advisor during a fresh install.  You need to
selective install it later.

IIRC you need to install a fix pack, I recommend the latest one, although
I think you can get away with an earlier one. If you remember way back
when lotus smart suite distributed a special fix pack for Open32, which
was then integrated with the main fix packs - the point where it became
part of the main fix packs is the one you need at minimum - but I strongly
recommend that if you're installing one, go for the latest version.

     I must amend my statement. Today I had a couple of downloads quit

Subj: fix pack installaton

From: "Ivan Tang" <[e-mail]>

Dear all,
I am trying to install an OS2 fix pack in the computers in our LAN. In order
to minimize the possible interpution to our users, I am using
the unattended mode and a response file to install the fix pack.

My question is: At the end of the installation, it prompts the users
to enter ctrl-alt-del to restart the computer. After rebooting
the PC, the fix pack installation program, fservice.exe, is still running. I
just wonder how to make this fservice.exe to terminated by
itself?  I have read books about the CID installation, and found
that there is a key word "RebootRequired" could make the PC to restart
itself by adding it into the response file, but the
response file comes with the fix pack  did not allow me to add such
word, what have I done wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Victor

As I said, it is definitely a known problem, and they have tracked it to a
problem in TCP/IP in which a false "end of download" signal gets generated
from somewhere.

Thanks for the reply.
Did you actually see the Sun Java advertisement scrolling?
Your settings are the same apart from the 'Append to the end...'
I have 'Ignore changes to classpath'.

I have also received a mail from Scott saying that he thinks that
the problem could be hardware. I guess it could be, but why only
with that one Java applet? I am not experiencing any other problems.

Anywhy, I have now disabled Java and Javascript and will wait until
that ad comes round again and if is doesn't crash the system I will
try to capture the page and all the relevant files.
One problem is that it does not appear very often, so checking ideas
is rather slow but, when it does appear it always produces a system
crash of some kind. Monday morning seems to be its favorite:-(

Suggests around 24MB in EAs then. If you *must* use FAT then you could halve
the size
lost to infernal attributes by repartitioning down to 255MB or if there are
lots of
small files have two partitions both of 127MB. If you are feeling brave then
Partition Magic and the like can twiddle with partitions on the fly, but your
EAs
might be mangled in the process. Definitely you need a backup before doing any
radical restructuring. It can even (irreversibly) convert FAT to HPFS.

If your EAs are already corrupted from a crash things may well become
unstable.

Doug,
This is a long shot, but are your folders LARGE, i.e. contains lots of emails?
About the only problem I have ever had with PMMAIL is when the folders get
full.
Suggest: re-index all of them. Does not take long unless you have a 486

I believe there was a bug in which netscape 4.04 trapped when the system was
shutdown(with Netscape open). The fix has been included as a part of the
netscape fixpack.

I too have only had a problem with Netscape and IBM sites.
However my memory seems to insidiously disappear whilst
running Netscape 4.6.
I note that I've seen posts from 2 of the IBM netscape team
on comp.os.os2.bugs recently hence the ading of it to this
thread.

Subj: WSeB DOS Failure

From: [e-mail] (Mikus Grinbergs)

Recently wanted to run a DOS program in WSeB.  But the DOS window
won't scroll !!!  Instead, PMSHELL.EXE gets a SYS3170 error.

Anyone else see the same problem ?  (Just do a 'dir' in a DOS
session and see if the lines scroll upward once the screen gets
filled.)

That would imply that *every* file on the disk has an EA attached to it
(3584 x 8192 = ~28MB). This should show up if you run DIR on the disk (may
require the /N switch) and look at the fourth column.  Any non-zero value
here is the number of EAs for that file. Have you run a program that's
gone through all your files and attached EAs to them all?

I'd also like to know what "full" is. Some of my folders have 1200+
messages in them. I guess I ought to archive them properly some day.

I'd like to know what you mean by "full" also.  I have several folders with a
few thousand messages in each.  In case you are wondering, they are archives
from several mailing lists that I keep for reference.  Very handy I might
add.  I have had to reindex a few folders.  I usually do it when I click on a
folder and no messages appear.  Reindexing fixes it.

Subj: Bug in new PKZIP/PKUNZIP for DOS?

From: [e-mail]

As you may find out, the old version of PKZIP and PKUNZIP for DOS
version 2.04G needs to be fixed for Y2K ..

I've noticed a curious deal on it in using the PKUNZIP version 2.50 for
DOS which I'd like somebody to confirm if they can.

When you rebuild a complete directory with the subdirectories that was
prepared with the:

          PKZIP -rp&  ... options ...

and use the creation option:

          PKUNZIP -d ....

Lo and behold in at least one of my files directory utilities programs,
the color splotch indicating that it is a directory and not a file, is
now missing!

The directory is there, it reports as a directory or subdirectory, but
it no longer has something in it which was used to ID it as a directory
or subdirectory!

You can switch to it.  You can do what you want with it.  You can use
XCOPY in OS/2 to create a clone of it all, including all the other
recursed subdirectories.  The clone will have the right attributes for
the utilities programs to display it as before!  You can remove the
created directory or subdirectory that PKUNZIP built.  You can create it
again from the cloned version with XCOPY /S or some other file manager
such as FF in OS/2 .. Poof, the attribute is back and all is normal!

What is PKUNZIP for DOS version 2.50 doing that utilities do not like?

At first I thought that it was telling your that an archive was created
by an older version, such as 2.04G, and thus able to alert you that it
might not be Y2K compatible.  However that is not true that I can tell.
Archives created with the old 2.04G or 2.50 and rebuilt from 2.04G do
not have this curious 'feature'.

     ?

'tis amazing what some people will pick up on. By 'Full' could I have meant
LARGE i.e. contians lots of mails.

OK, I cannot beat 1200, but I have at least 5 folders with more than 500 in
and one with 900.
So is mine bigger than yours<should I rephrase that?>.

The point of the post was 'try reindexing'.

The ANSI.SYS device driver in WSeB is broken. You can fix the problem
by replacing ANSI.SYS with an older copy from a Warp Server 4 or

30 seconds of disk churning, the machine reboots and starts the whole
process again.

Any Ideas on whats wrong and how to fix them....

Thanks.

Wow, I've seen a couple of posts about "large" folders quoting 1200 or
under.  A mutated quote from Crocodile Dundee comes to mind.  "That's not
large!"

I thought MR/2 was bad by starting to get pokey after 1-2-3000 messages.
At 10,000 messages in a folder, it was downright unusable.  Yet some users
insisted on using it for LARGE archives.  Of course, with the ability to
ZIP folders, it made this a little more practical.

Anyway, one of the HUGE enhancements in the MR/2 v2.0 release was just
this ... massively improved performance for large folders.  My 13,000
message test folder now opens in a couple of seconds and is fully
functional.  Faster systems than mine will be even faster <gasp!>.

I now have at least one user approaching the OS/2 (custom) control's limit
of 32,000 messages.  I will be able to increase this to 64k-1 messages,
easily, but I get the impression I've outdone the other guy as it is now.
Of course, most of the fun in this is gone, as is the other guy, for all
practical purposes.

Hmm.  I've never tried MR2 Ice, although I understand it's a good mail

Yes, my folders are large, typically with 1500-3000 msgs in each one.
I have numerous accounts and folders all in systematic hierarchies.  To
re-index would be a royal PITA, but one which I suspect I would have to
try since there is an amazing lack of useful suggestions (yours and the
other followups on this thread not withstanding). ;-)

Well, wish me luck...

OS/2 work on my CDS300 with boot manager (OS/2 and linux)
I found a OS/2 FAQ for my laptop and i'm sure that there was one for 300CDT
too.
Try to search for it on web.

I'll guess that you problem is caused by the CDROM or "VGA card".

Good luck

If you are trying to use "dual boot" meaning that the OS/2
code is in the same partition as Windows 98, this probably
won't work given that Win 98 is probably using a FAT32 or
FAT32X partition type which OS/2 cannot read.

The only reliable way is to use "boot manager" which
will require that you re-partition your disk drive to obtain
another partition that can be used to install OS/2

Depends on what you consider practical - when certain folders get too
big I move some of the contents to other folders so I have to spend
less time searching when I need to reference an old email.

To: Rime Saad <[e-mail]>
From: josco <[e-mail]>

http://www.gt-online.com/~bri/fix.html
http://members.iquest.net/~dcasey/
(links above document how I came to this web page below)

http://www.os2voice.org/ez-reference/fixpak.html I followed the directions
for an install off my hard drive, not floppy disks which takes too long
while this went quickly.  It was easy. I installed FP11.

The fixpack files came from this ftp site.
ftp://service.software.ibm.com/ps/products/os2/fixes/v4warp/english-us/xr_m011/


My advice is to be sure to at least run chkdsk prior to the install to be
sure not to have any disk errors.  I have my system boot with the HPFS
automatically checking my drives.  It seems easier than booting off the
floppies and running chkdsk.  You can modify the CONFIG.SYS file line
where the cache is installed. You add '+' signs in front of all cached
disks i.e. +c+d+e

OS/2 Help will give you the correct symantics -- search help for "cache"
to see the exact syntax.  "Help cache"

After the system is okay and running you can edit and remove the forced
chkdsk if that slows down boot time.

Subj: Warp 4 crashed - need some files.

From: [e-mail] (Fred Leggett)

     I hate to ask this, but my warp 4 client crashed on me recently
(while running comm 4.61xr).  When chkdsk was invoked, it removed several
files that I'm unable to recover without doing a reinstall (at least, I
can't find them on the cd).  Could someone forward to me the following
files?  Remember, this is for warp 4.0:

\OS2\HELP\EPM.HLP
\MMOS2\SOUNDS\SONATACR.MID
\MMOS2\HELP\SVMCH.HLP
\OS2\DLL\LASERJET\wordper1.fnt

That last file is crucial, as I'm currently unable to print anything, and
I suspect the absence of the wordper1.fnt file is the cause.  Thanks!

P.S.:  These are the files removed as reported in chkdsk.log.

We need to see the entire trap screen.

The error location does not mean much without

You need to be careful with Boot Manager and FAT32. I used the Boot Manager
that
came with Partition Magic 3.0 and which  PowerQuest got from IBM.  Later I
installed this Boot Manager on a machine that had Win98 preinstalled in a
FAT32
partition. It didn't handle it correctly. I went on a Partition Magic forum
and
found that PowerQuest had a fix for the problem which I downloaded and
installed
and this updated Boot Manager handled the FAT32 partition correctly. The issue
is that the Boot Manager that comes with Warp is probably the same one that
was
originally distributed with Partition Magic and thus probably suffers from the
same problem. I don't know if IBM ever distributed a fix for the problem.

The symptom of the problem was that, when I booted the FAT32 (Win98) primary
partition, the FAT  primary partition (In which I had installed DOS) was
visible. The FAT32 partition was assigned C: and the FAT partition got
assigned
two drive letters. One of these "drives" appeared to Win98 to be of 0 length
and
inaccessable while the other appeared normal. The problem, of course, is that
there is supposed to be only one primary partition per physical drive visible
at
any one time. I only had two primary partitions on this drive (other than Boot
Manager itself) so I don't know how it would have dealt with more than two
primaries.

AFAIK trapE indicates a hardware problem with the memory
(RAM or cache).
If you're trouble is totally random, it must be hardware
related. Software errors are predictable and repeatable,
hardware problems might not be.
1) try slowing down your SIMMS or DIMMS (i.e. RAM memory,
BIOS settings)
2) try slowing down or disabling 'level 2' cache memory (aka
'external cache')


> Any help would be great. This is getting as bad as

I agree. The one reason running OS/2 is that it doesn't
crash 'randomly', that is you can track the crash down to a
hardware component or an application or single DLL.
So...
3) look in your log (or think hard) to find when you
introduced the last software change (upgrade or new install)
of applications or fixpacks and if this coincides with the
start of your trouble. If you do not have a log, start one
now, it is really useful when you want to manage your OS,
rather than 'try reinstalling everything every time'.
4) use the Warp's error log (like in WinNT): assistance
centre - trouble shooting - problem determination tools -
system error log. When you see a long list of PMmerge.DLL or
DosCall1.DLL exceptions, that just means you're running
fixpack12 (aka bugpack12 or fixpack12alpha). My favourite
fixpack is #9.

5) use the tracker tool (found in the vicinity of the
system error log), I do not know how to use it, but I know
it's on the web somewhere. Also the tracker is a debug aid
for applications (hence it will monitor suspicious
applications and is no good when hardware is involved)

Good Luck !

Now, now, Nick, don't you think it's a bit early to start

I suggest installing fixpack 12 rather than fixpack 11.  Fixpack 11 had
a problem with HPFS and required downleveling to fixpack 10 HPFS files
(the fix was on Hobbes.)  I download the floppy files and make the
floppyies with loaddskf.exe and then install them with the corrective
service tool from an OS/2 window.  It's a little more trouble to make
floppies than doing the RSU update but also a little more secure, imo.

I have used Partition Magic 3.05 and the OS/2 v4 boot manager without
problems with FAT32 drives.  The problem you describe really sounds more
like a Partition Magic problem than a boot manager problem.  I have set
up systems with the Windows 9x on a FAT32 partition on the first
partition and OS/2 on a second logical partition.  If Windows is already
installed on the C: FAT32 partion, OS/2 will not see the FAT32 partition
and so will think it is installing on the C: drive unless you create an
additional small partition ahead of OS/2 for the install.  Then you
install OS/2 on what it thinks is now the D: partition and then install
Henk Kelder's FAT32 drivers into OS/2.  Then boot with floppies and
delete the small partition (and reclaim the space to one of the other
two large partitions).  If you've done everything correctly, OS/2 will
boot with the FAT32 drivers and will now recognize the FAT32 partition
as the C: drive and the OS/2 partition as the D: drive and OS/2 will
have read and write access to both the C and D partitions.  Windows 9x
will only see the C: drive (unless you formatted the OS/2 partition to
be FAT16--a very unwise idea IMO).

FWIW, when I first built my IBM 686 powered PC and installed the then
recently released Warp 4, I sufferred repeated Trap 000E errors.  The
problem disappeared when I installed FP1.  The hardware is:

Gigabyte HX512 with IBM 686 166+ and 64 MB Ram
Adaptec 2840UW SCSI card with IBM 2GB wide SCSI HD
Mattrox Millenium 4MB PCI,
Soundblaster 16 p&p
Kingston EtherRx network card.

PC has been pretty stable ever since - currently at FP6 - although
perhaps it's not quite as robust as its predecessor - a 386DX40 with
16MB ram which I still use with Warp Connect.

I am hoping for a refresh of NS 4.61 like there was with NS 2.02.
(There seems to be a bug in NS 4.61 which causes CPU usage to shoot to
100 percent and download speed to slow to a crawl on many web pages).
Would a refresh of a currently free product still be free?

Jeffrey Kobal of the IBM Netscape team reported in a public message
that a a fixpak for Communicator v4.61 will be released AFTER January
2000 but there is a slight chance it may be released in mid-December.
And it will be free!

He added, "you won't have to pay to get fixpacks even after the
new year. Software Choice distributes whole software packages,
not fixpacks...

The above was reported to all members of Warp City on Saturday,
November 13th.  Just one of the many tidbits we keep track of
for our members.

I'm not sure if they handle other than English, but check with Indelible

Good news.  I'll be able to keep up with the fixpacks until I can swing a

Dave...

I'd be interested in learning a little bit more about "... Henk Kelder's FAT32
drivers
into OS/2" (as taken from your post below).  Can you provide a link to a web
page or
some other source of info regarding these drivers, and hopefully locations
where they
can be obtained from?  Are they shareware / freeware, or commercial.
Obviously I'm
hoping for the freeware... but...  if the price is right.

Thanks in advance...

It Depends ....

For me, it fixed the things that were broken that were causing
me problems. For others, it broke things that were working.

Like all fixpacks, you should only install them if they fix
a problem that you know you have.

If you have Partition Magic 3.05 then you have the updated Boot Manager. You
may or
may not be using the updated Boot Manager. It doesn't matter to you because
the old
Boot Manager will handle the scenario you described. What I described was a
different
scenario and the old Boot Manager will not handle it correctly.

Subj: printer ports at non standard io and irq?

From: [e-mail] (Mooo)

Hi Folks,

I recently put an dual PP ISA card into a WS4 machine and have had a
fair bit of trouble configuring the thing to work as I'd like.

I left the onboard PP at 378 irq7, and put the two new ones at 3bc
irq5 and 278 irq 9.  The card also supports all irq's up to 15 and a
heap of extra (non standard) IO addresses.

After finding out that this didnt work, I searched the help and it
basically told me this:

3 port config.

PP0    3bc    irq7
PP1    378    irq7
PP2    278    irq5

These settings would appear to be hard coded.  My question is whether
or not there is another PP driver available that would allow a certain
amount of configuration along the lines of com.sys.  Com.sys allows,
via switches in the config.sys, you to put your ports nearly anyplace
with nearly any irq (3e8, 9 for instance).

As I found, the current configuration works as long as you dont use
irq's for printing (leave /irq off the print01.sys line in
config.sys).  This uses polling instead and is real CPU hungry,
particularly in a heavy printing environment.  Putting /irq into the
config.sys fixes the CPU hog, but you cant use the PP at 3bc and 378
at the same time.

Another problem that immediately comes to mind is what is going to
happen to me when I need to add another 2 ports, which I'll need to do
quite soon.  I've got the spare irq's as this is a SCSI only system
with no sound etc.

If no driver is available, would the source for the print01.sys be
around someplace and would it be a -huge- task (ie, expensive) to get
a programmer to rewrite it for multiple ports at varying
addresses/irq's??

Regards,
Craig

It's a well kept secret, but there actually is a competent sales group

perhaps someone who knows more about that can help)

IBM Sales - [phone]

Note that this number does NOT go to the PC Company or to PSP - these

This is the only sales department at IBM that knows what they're doing

I was quite happy with fp8. Rather solid, and if the shell crashed, or

as it should, and have done since GA.

Then I added fp10 - But it didn't start up a new <pmshell.exe>.! :-(
Therefore I cahnged into fp11 = same result. :-/   If I intendedly

DOES start (a second) <pmshell.exe> up again as it should.

How does fp12 handle this little case..??

I've got a similar add-on board (Dolphin FASTISA-4013) that adds 2
ports, and did get all 3 ports working, but not at all in BIDI mode.
Something weird with WSeB, I think, because I've had BIDI operation in
the past with Warp 4.

I had to take it out because it kept interfering with existing IRQ
assignments. Unlike your system, mine's full, and I had to assign it
to my unused COM port IRQs. There's excellent support at the Dolphin
website, by the way, which is good because the docs that come in the
box are very sketchy. http://www.dolphinfast.com

Try the BIDI port package, which includes a substitute for the
PRINT01.SYS called PAR1284.SYS, and a replacement PARALLEL.PDR port
driver. This is what I used, successfully, and I didn't test the
PRINT01.SYS driver at all.

I believe this is the package at IBM:

    ftp://ps.software.ibm.com:/ps/products/os2/os2ddpak/bidi.exe

It doesn't do any good to specify /IRQ on the PAR1284.SYS load line,
by the way.

The souce for the print01.sys driver and the tools to
compile it are available at the IBM DDK web site. You
will have to register but there is no charge for this.

URL http://service.software.ibm.com/ddk/

From a quick look it shouldn't be too difficult
to modify it to allow different IRQ and/or port
addresses.

Software choice has always been for complete packages and not fixes (or
fixes which in effect upgrade a package to a newer version).  Fixes are
free if you can find them,  However, if a fix results in a newer version
then you cannot buy the new version unless you are part of software
choice.  Examples, newer version of tcpip for warp server, PSNS for warp
server and so on.

I am not sure they can get away with charging either for Java or
Netscape, remains to be seen.

From a business point of view it does make sence for IBM to know what is
the subscription rate as the income generated may indicate interest in
os/2.  From this end, I have to buy licences for my OS/2 server(s), it
would make business sence for us too.  However, buying licences for
clients can be an expensive recurrent cost (I guess financial
institutions can be happy to pay it and may even negotiate better
prices).

I wasn't sure about the actual figure, and remembered it as $200.  But that
still comes out at $125 a year, even though you can't get it for one year
at a time.  The reason I said anything at all was I knew some people must
still think it is a lot higher than it really is.

When you consider that there are a lot of things on SWC other than Netscape
and Java, you're not getting a bad deal at all.

That's my point.

I find FP12 to be very good, except for the PMMERGE.DLL problems. I
have installed the updated PMMERGE.DLL (look for PMR00052.ZIP at
HOBBES), and that seems to be much better. So far, FP12 (with the
fix), seems to be as good as FP9, which I found to be very stable.

YMMV...

There are other things, but delivery of items are not guaranteed. You get
what IBM decides to deliver during your subscription period

Netscape and Java are free for other platforms. You might get UDF for DVD
and TCPIP 4.x updates. That's not worth $125/year for me.
If they could provide a "real" client upgrade, or a specific list of
deliverables, then yes, $125/year is not too bad.
