Hi, again, Roy:
After my previous post, I noticed that I hadn't mentioned Netscape.
(You said you have a W95 3.0 version.)  An OS/2 version (2.02) is
available for free download, and can be configured to act like 3.0.
(Seems to fool any sites that care about it.)
It works fine, but you need to be aware that there are several v2.02
variations out there--differing by encryption capability and by date!
I'm running the June, 128bit version.  Because U.S. security regula-
tions attempting to prevent export of such software make it hard to
get it in the U.S., I had to download it from an ftp site in the
Netherlands: ftp://ftp.replay.com/pub.crypto/browsers/128bit/IBM-OS2
The latest version of Netscape is dated February, 1998.  (It works with
a later version of Java, also available for download.)  Be sure you get
the _late_ February one, not the _early_ February one.  Did I mention
that it's a bit confusing?  The 8-bit version can (could) be downloaded
from:  www://www.software.ibm.com/os/warp/netscape/  The 128bit version
must be ordered on CD-Rom, because of security regulations.

With so much software growing to multi-meg sizes, you may have more
opportunity in the future :)

It's sorta handy to have the CD-ROM around; but it's almost as easy to
go to the Hobbes or Walnut Creek web sites.  If you don't have web
access, you can work with their ftp sites via e-mail, but that's not as
easy.  The last CD-ROM I bought (June, 1995 :) lists an e-mail address
of info@cdrom.com, and a snail-mail address of Suite 260, 1547 Palos
Verdes Mall, Walnut Creek, CA 94596.

The FM2UTILS programs I use most are DELTREE (a knockoff of the DOS
utility) and MOV (moves files between drives/partitions.)  The JdeBP
utility I use most is his file finder, FF, that searches entire
partitions, including within archived files, for specific file names
or fragments of file names.  Guess all that reveals something of an
organizational deficiency on my part :)
