An alternative web browser that uses the WebEx DLLs contains, in its
documentation, the observation that 1.03 will be quicker at loading
pages than 1.1d will. No word as to why . . .
The responses to this post indicate varying experiences with crashes.
My experience, to augment the pool, is that I encounter no crashes
while using 1.1d (except for a very occasional web page with some
bizarre HTML that Net$cape apparently can swallow)--but I do very regularly
see a SYS3175 on exiting from 1.1d. It's not invariable, but it's probably
in the vicinity of 50% of the time. The only apparent ill effect, other
than the annoyance of dismissing the warning screen, is that the cached
temp files are usually not erased in a crash (just clean 'em up by hand).
One gathers that there's not much point in worying, as Net$cape will now
not only soon be OS/2 but (if the newspapers have got it right) will
actually come with Merlin.
