Ok.  I think that I was not very clear.  The older file should be backed up 
to a "OLD" file and the newer version copied over it.  The difference in 
versions will cause problems with any DOS/Windows program that attempts to 
attach itself to the TCP/IP stack that OS/2 creates when the Dial Other 
Internet Providers is started.

You will need these in order for a Windows program to use the stack from 
/2.

In-joy does not start up a windows based TCP/IP stack and uses the windows 
stack from OS/2 for that function.
