Hi folks!

 HR> Yes. beside the plain recompiled seamonkey and firefox 
 HR> there are specially for OS2 and ecomstation modified 
 HR> versions available. See

 HR> http://weilbacher.org/Mozilla/ and follow the links therein

Peter has done staggering stable release work for us all in my opinion and from
my work on a fair number of machines.  Bless him and the others who have
contributed to what we have in SM 1.1.8 now.


 HR> Beside that, to be failsave you should upgrade from 
 HR> WARP4 to ecomstation because WARP4 even with the last 
 HR> released fixpacks is out of state and seamonkey and 
 HR> firefox are in limited functionality on it. Something 
 HR> you'll unable to use on WARP4 because you'll no access 
 HR> to them:

Amen brother Ben, pass that around and say it again, wink!

 HR> - use of full 4GB RAM (WARP4 is limited to only the half (2GB).
 HR> - expanded user addressroom: WARP4 is limited to 512 MB per application
 HR>   and seamonkey and firefox are using up to 3 GB like 
 HR> most of applications created or modified since 2000.
 HR> - more current display drivers
 HR> - more current LAN drivers
 HR> - more current printer drivers

Yep!

Absolutely reccomemded that one move somehow away from Warp 4 to MCP2 latest
everything.  Yes, Warp 4 at FP 17, together with the Level 32 Networking and
TCP-IP stuff, plus the absolutely needed fixes for the DHCP/MS-DOS file handle
conflict contamination IBM error is VERY stable for low memory requirement
applications.  It also is VERY stable for some low level server applications
that are not involved in multiple application complicated desktops.  It also
*WILL*, at least in my case,accomodate the latest of Peter's SMK 1.1.8
Seamonkey browser with all the foregoing updates even beyond the FP17 level. 
Even with only 128MB of memory and even a 100 MHZ Pentium processor!  And with
Warp 4 with a 500MHZ processor and 500MB of memory, it runs VERY solid on *ONE*
application such as the ham radio DX Spot site and even with the latest Java
fudged 10 reporting utility on Warp 4 too!
 
Even for hours at a time on just one site connections or say, maybe two windows
open at once.  That also with decent News connections too on Warp 4.  That
together with very solid Btrieve total use during the operation and multiple
COMM port use with SIO2K as well on Warp 4 with the 500Mhz Intel CPU and 500MB
memory machine.  All at once on this machine.

But as far as Seamonkey goes, though it will install on the 100Mhz/128MB box
for test purpose and open a small non-complex page, it is useless for anything
other than just to test the installation..


--> Sleep well; OS/2's still awake! ;)
