SYS1804: The system cannot find the file LIBC061.

I guess I need a newer DLL from Innotek ?

The file I generated appeared similar to the file you generated on linux
from a casual glance....

Cheers,

Subject:   Bon Echo (Firefox 2.0a)

Hi,

  Some good news, a site that I previously could not access with Firefox 
v 1.504 behaves correctly with the new Firefox V2.

   The site is http://www.mynrma dot com dot au - loading it in firefox 1.504 
under OS/2 gives the home page fine, but when clicking on the membership 
option, Firefox shuts down. Performing the same with Bon Echo (FF 2.0A) 
under OS/2 the browser behaves correctly.

Cheers/2

Ed.

Hi Ed

Just tried the link with Firefox 1.504 and it worked fine for me. This
is the heading of the first article on the membership page:

Important Message from the President of NRMA Motoring & Services

Hi Ed.

I tried it with my Firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US;
rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060606 Firefox/1.5.0.4) with no problems.

Each page I entered from Home gave me a message that I needed to install
missing plug-ins, but otherwise came up fine.

I had trouble like yours before I installed the latest IPluginW in
MOZ_PLUGINS. 

Best regards
John Angelico

Subject:   List going off air for a little while

Hi Everyone

Just about to make some DNS changes, then setup the router for
my new provider, if your on Telstra/Bigpond you may not see
us again for 24-48 hours, which is how long it seem to take for
there DNS server to update its cache, funny enought, if your in
the rest of the world you should be fine within 30-40 minutes :-)

It's now exactly 9 years since I signed on to Connect (23rd June 1997)
they havent been the same since AAPT took over unfortunetly so after
almost doubling my monthly fees, I'm off to a cheaper provider.

See you all in 30 minutes :-)
(should only take me 5 minutes as all the files are done but you got
to give it a little while for changes to propergate.

Cheers
Ian Manners
