Hugh,

I'll put in my two cents worth on 1.1d!  I started out with 1.03, played around with it, learned its quirks, etc.  I DID notice that 1.03 made HUGE swap files for no apparent reason.  The more documents brought in, the worst it got.

From there I went to 1.1b and IMMEDIATELY went back to 1.03.  Why?  Something with how it handled graphics that got re-routed on their way in... made them blurry and imcomplete.  Very annoying.  Swap file still got huge even though one of the READMEs said it was supposed to be fixed.

Finally, I'm on to 1.1d.  Much better reliability.  No crashes yet.  Better frame support as mentioned.  And I don't care what they say about the swap file supposed to be fixed, it STILL grows huge.

At least it's stable now.  For fear of being shot for treason in an OS/2 group, it's a *good* browser.  Wish it would do the stuff that W****** browsers would do.  But, I'll give away a few points here and there to have a stable operating system.  Smile.

One oddity I've noticed:  If you use LINKUP.EXE to launch WE (to start dialer automatically), all the files in the \TCPIP\ETC directory stay there when WE is shut down.

Take LINKUP.EXE out, and WE dutifully erases them.  Go figure.  Make sure LINKUP.EXE is out as you'll clutter the heck out of your hard drive and wonder why you're losing all that space!

So what... you got 50 cents worth.
