Hello, I have given up on Netscape for OS/2 Yesterday I downloaded Netscape 4.61 beta, Java 1.1.8, and Fixpack11. After installing all this, I still have the same old problems: (i) some of the text in not displayed, (ii) scrolling sometimes does not work, and (iii) I cannot do my internet banking (I suspect this is a java problem). None of these problem occur when I run netscape under Linux. Can anyone please suggest alternative Web browsers for OS/2? Thanks in advance Paul Petrie-Repar

There's still the Netscape 4.04 GA for OS/2. I have had no problems with i) ii) or iii) at all. Haven't had a problem with Java, which is used heavily on the on-line trading account I use. (Geez, I wonder how I banked before they got Internet banking!) Isaac

I think it will work with the latest Java, but not JavaScript. You might do better to ask at news:comp.os.os2.apps -- James Gasson

I am certain the online banking problem is with java 1.1.8 I had no problems with 1.1.7 (and all the updates) using both NS4.04 and NS4.61. Now Netscape crashes when I try to access online banking using either 4.04 or 4.61 with java 1.1.8.
