Subject: [os2genau] Netscape dropping support for 4.61

G'day from the Coat-Hanger City,
St George Bank is claiming Netscape are dropping support of 4.61 from 24
April 2001.
St George, in a knee-jerk reaction have coded their Internet Banking not
to accept anything lower than 4.74.

I'm wondering if the other Banks will follow. Currently, Adelaide & ANZ
Bank still work with 4.61.
Could people using other Banks check Internet Banking is still working &
report on their bank's functional statua on these ListServs if they stop
working in the future.

No Bank in Australia currently supports Internet Banking on 6.00
Has anyone got Mozilla or the IBM Browser to work with Internet Banking
in Australia?

How do you make 4.61 "think" it is 4.74?
Can you make the IBM Browser think it is 4.74?

G'day Daryl,
Well the Commonwealth bank still allows the use of NS 4.61.  And I did get the 
Commonwealth netbank to load with Mozilla 0.8.1.  Some things looked borked but it 
did work!

Just tried BankSA with NS 4.61 and got the same thing that you get with St George 
(hardly surprising given the same ownership).

I just tried editing netscape.exe with a hex editor and changed all the 4.61 strings in the 
..exe to 4.74, which then got through the browser check, but crashed netscape when 
Java started.  I might mess around with this a bit and try not changing all the matches (I 
think there were 5 4.61 strings in the .exe).

I'll keep you posted on my progress as my wife uses BankSA and I'll cop heaps if I 
don't get it working!!

Regards,

Paul.

If you purchase and use web-mirror/2 it allows you to "emulate" various
IE and NS Versions (but I don't like the product myself).

Warpzilla and IBM Webbrowser both work with ANZ online banking.
