Because I posted the warning about this bug in this newsgroup earlier, I'm
now posting the news that AOL has (finally...after more than 30 days) fixed
the evil "FILE DOWNLOAD CRASH" bug that affected Macintosh users.

I have personally tested it on a 68040 processor running OS 7.5 and AOL
3.0.1, and also on a G3 running OS 8.5.1 and AOL 4.0 and have found it to
be fixed.  (I'm in no ways guaranteeing that it is fixed for all systems --
but it sure looks like they are on the right track).

I don't know whether afflicted users still have to trash prefs etc, or
whether things magically work now.  Sorry.  (AOL wasn't exactly forthcoming
in details, and both of my systems were already restored to "normal" before
AOL did the fix today).

I won't be coming back to these newsgroups to followup, so please direct
all questions and comments to DrDave92@aol.com.  Please direct all flames
to SteveCase@aol.com   <g>.  (Just joking, of course)
