Howdy Charles.........sure you're not thinking of the previous OS/2 NS beta 
release?  I've been running the current version since it was released and 
never had a problem with it except for the name/address bug; there's a simple 
solution for that problem and once I found out about the work around there's 
been absolutely no problems.  I will say though, I don't run any of the 
plug-in, multimedia stuff (not importent to me) so I can't say what kind of 
problems they may entail.

 Hmmmm............AFAIK, if installing TCP/IP is out of the question, then 
you'd end up using an ISPs shell account.........are you sure you can even 
run NetScape through your ISPs shell account?   AFAIK, you won't be able to 
(but it certainly won't be the first tiime I've been wrong! ).  Quite 
honestly, I guess my advice to you would be to do the TCP/IP install, grab 
the OS/2 version of Netscape and then spend the money you'd spent on the 
Windows version of NS to register Injoy which is and ISP phone dialer (much 
recommended by me and others) and thereby avoid the hassle of setting up the 
IBM dialer and PPP command files etc.
I know this doesn't answer your question on installing the Windows version 
under OS/2 but quite honestly I think you'd be further ahead just installing 
tcp/ip, installing netscape and grabbing a copy of Injoy off your local OS/2 
bbs.
