I'm having a small problem getting Compuserve and Netscape running 
together under NT.  I can get Compuserve to launch Netscape, but, even 
though I'm dialed in to Compuserve, Netscape does not recognize the 
URLs.  I believe it may be a problem with the winsock.dll files, since 
Compuserve has one of their own.  I could also be way off base on this, 
too, so if anyone has any worldly advice, it would be much appreciated. 
 Thank you.

The problem is most likely that you are using the 32bit version of Netscape, and the Compuserve 
dialer uses the 16bit winsock implementation.

The easiest way to set this up is to use RAS to dial into your Compuserve node.  Then run WinCIM (it 
will see the RAS connection).  There is a FAQ available somewhere that explains the how to out on 
the Compuserve Internet New Users forum somewhere (I think).  I downloaded it sometime back and it 
works if you follow the instructions EXPLICITLY.

Good luck.
