The new files are named os2xx202.exe where xx can be one of 11 different 
languages.  The English version is os2en202.exe.  The file you downloaded was 
the 2.02E version and is full of programming problems (commonly called bugs.)

Try this:  http://www.software.ibm.com/os/warp and go to the Netscape 
Navigator for OS/2 section.  Load that page.  There is a questionaire that 
you must answer and then you can download the latest version.  I've found 
them at:
ftp://service2.boulder.ibm.com/software/netscape if you want to use FTP to 
download them (sometimes easier than using Netscape to get them.)  I was 
alerted that I needed new software when I entered the Netscape home page at 
http://www.netscape.com.  I like that feature.
