Hi David,

        All I can say is "Wow!"  8-)  As I said, I have 48 Megs of RAM and I 
start out with a swap file of 4 Megs.  In the last ten days, it has grown to 
9 Megs because of Netscape, which is the only program that increases the 
size.  I wonder if I started bigger if Netscape would eventually increase the 
size?  8-)

        Well, the only WINSOCK.DLL in the path is the one in the 
WinOS2/System directory.  The vdostcp.sys is being loaded in the settings for 
the session.  Sure wish I could remember what I did back in January.  8-)

        8-)  Actually, I'm beginning to adjust to Netscape/2.  I may even be 
bold enough to try some of the plug-ins.  I'm just running the bare version 
of Netscape/2.  It is nice to have everything on my desktop without having to 
do any  key.
        Thanks and take care!
                                                Victor
