Since the OS/2 version of Netscape is a joint venture between IBM and 
Netscape, I would expect one or both to be working on this "feature".  I know 
that Netscape did not initially announce Netscape for OS/2.  I sent them a 
message and they responded that they thought that IBM was working that issue. 
 They since added a link to the Netscape for OS/2 web page at the IBM 
software center.

No, I expect an announcement that a fixed version is in the test/release 
process this week.  I also expect an announcement on Communicator for OS/2 
too.

No, I know how IBM works.  They are very cautious on their software 
announcements, unlike another company we all know so well.
