A problem that has been occuring is disks not working properly under anything but Win98. I don't have Win98 either. Is anyone familier with the DirectCD program so CD's can be read by OS/2 without errors. Some CD's have worked perfectly while others have not, but it's getting a bit too expensive to keep burning until one works.

Trying to share it out from the server with different profiles would be a nightmare and Netscape takes long enough to load and run as it is. Leave it on the WSes. ! Cheers/2 Ed.

OS/2 supports up to a certain level of Joliet with the addition of the /w switch on cdfs.ifs in config.sys - otherwise, you may be able to change the Joliet settings from within DirectCD - I'm not sure - I got DirectCD with my burner but have never burned a CD from within Windoze :) Regards, Paul.

Factors involved are: The CD-Burner itself (there's some real lemons out there) The CD-Blanks being used - fastest, most expensive are often NOT the best Buffer underruns. Depending upon where the data is coming from that you are writing to the CD and what speed the burner is running can cause the situation where the burner simply runs out of data to write and this can make CDs un-readable. Type of CD being written - Multisession? CD-XA? Audio? etc. And linked to this the Cd-Rom drive trying to read the burnt disk. I would suspect one of, or a combination of the above to be the problem you are having rather than a difference in OSes unless you are running a VERY old version of Warp 4. By the way K-Mart have a special on at the moment - 50 Packs of "Mr Data" 700MB CD Blanks for under AUS$30. i.e. less than a dollar a blank. Cheers/2 Ed Durrant.

The user files live on your local PC disk. Of course this is Windows but the principle is the same. On one PC install a copy to a directory on the server. Then all all you need is to create a desktop object pointing to netscape.exe on each PC. You can reinstall it on each PC (making sure it is not running) to get all the icons. Works fine - takes longer to startup of course.
