Howdy OS/2 crew.

I formally have three OS/2 Email programs. I don't normally use it, but
lately had to start checking a non-normal Email site that I needed to use
the PolarBar Email program for testing purposes.  Suddenly for the first
time I've ever seen on opening the program for the initialization, a
temporary little alert window pops up which advises me that program file is
not present in the system called HotJavaBean.jar in a directory that is
expected to be available for the PolarBar use.  The alert window then says
that PolarBar will revert to the older ICE browser program when you click
on the OK button,  I do that and the whole PolarBar operation goes as
desired.

From the current QTH and available stuff, I've done a Hobbs site search for
that file in the whole archive.  No such file.  As best I can tell this
system actually has Java 1.42 installed on the very latest OS/2 2.45
version with all the latest fixpack XCR0005 with all the extra
sub-correction IBM team work which is not the XCR0006 latest version that
more or less comes with the last version of ECS which I have paid for the
right to install and use.  However for other reasons I've never moved to
use of ECS at all yet.

Any thoughts on what might have caused this?  The 'ICE browser' that it
says is still in use seems to work just fine.
