When it tried to run the demo program (a 32 bit solitare game) it said: "Need
WIN32S.386 to run this; can't find it", or words to that effect. The funny thing
is, that program was there all the time. Tried expanding it separately and
putting copies in every conceivable sub-dir, but still didn't work. I got
the W32S.ZIP
from the Mosaic UIUC  home page, so I assume it's good. Am in the process
of updating the latest IMB system files & DOS, starting from scratch  with
no TSR's, and all the other usual kick-the-tires tricks. 

Could you list your CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT and I'll try doing
it the same way?

I see the other messages on the DOS wars, and I wouldn't touch that with
a ten foot pole. The only DOS I've understood was CPM. I use PCDOS
cause that's what came with it. <G>

Mosaic 32  works just fine on my ancienct, slow 386 at work. Some more
feature that don't have anything to do with the operating system, but not
available on the 16 bit version.

I use PCTCP on both the desktop, for direct ethernet connection, and for
the 750 for remote SLIP connection. It wortks fine both ways and the
installation
was not bad. After the SLIP connection is made on the 750, I do mail with
PC EUDORA for windows, QVT for news, Mosaic for the fun stuff, and the
PCTCP utilities for FTP & Telnetting.

Go ahead and dish the dirt...
