CAB.APP v1.2 (v1.2a is now available at Alexander Clauss' homepage) needs
to have CAB.OVL (from WWW130.ZIP) sitting in the same folder, just as all other
versions have done. I made the mistake of thinking that CAB_JPEG.OVL did its
job - but what that does is convert .jpeg images - you still need CAB.OVL
to connect to the outside world.

To check to see if STiK is recognised by CAB, just go to the Desk menu and
look under the CAB info... heading and it will tell you if any Internet
routines are in use. Providing CAB.OVL is in the folder and STiK is enabled
it will fill in the dialogue with the necessary info.
