I can agree with this. I'm tempted to disable Java in Mozilla, as there are few places that its worth it, plenty of places it doesn't work and a few places that cause big problems. Luckily this category is getting smaller as Mozilla gets better. > >I installed the IBM-Browser as I have to use a system that only works >with NS 6 code:- & since IBM Web-Browser is based on the Mozilla code, >which is based on NS 6.1 code, it works! Not quite the right order. It's closer to: NS6.1 is based on Mozilla code. IBM Web-Browser is based on Mozilla code at the same level as NS6.1. Of course it's not as simple as that, as both IBM and, I assume, Netscape have added their own proprietary code to the browser that haven't gone back into the Mozilla tree. Or, in the case of bug fixes, have gone back into a much later version of Mozilla than they are based on. -- David Forrester davidforatterrigal dot net dot au http://www.os2world dot com/djfos2/ 10============================================== Subject: Re: [os2genau] IBM Feature Installer From: brianbatkdfisher dot com dot au Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 12:57:01 +0930 Hi all, From what I have seen from the FI / Netscape installation farce the only reason any browser is used is for execution of a load of Javascript.

The FI thing appears to be a major hurdle. That's why I took the easy way: copied the entire 1.3 tree from a fellow member of our OS/2 user group. As a second precaution you have to be at the latest MPTN fix, btw. To sum up, what I did was: - being at level FP9 - applied the latest mptn fix by copying the about 16 *dll to the appropriate directory - copied over the 1.3 tree - copied npjava.dll to ns461 and npoji6.dll to the Mozilla appropriate directories. - edited manually the config.sys: > REM java > SET CLASSPATH=E:\JAVA11\LIB\SECMA.JAR;E:\JAVA11\LIB\CLASSES.ZIP;.\.;E:\JAVA11\ICATJAVA\DAEMON\JAVAPROB.ZIP;E:\TCPIP\java; > SET INCLUDE=E:\JAVA11\INCLUDE;E:\JAVA11\INCLUDE\OS2;E:\java13\include > REM SET LIB=E:\JAVA11\LIB; > SET JAVA_AUDIO_RATE=8 > SET JAVA_AUDIO_VOLUME=40 > SET java_high_mem=1 > You have to take care java13 is at the very end of each path, otherwise you'll end in troubles.

In reverse order: - Warpzilla is the name give to the OS/2 port of Mozilla. - There are probably lots of bugs in Mozilla, but a lot less than in IBM Browser. - Crash or hang less often :) The explanation to this is that the IBM Browser and Warpzilla come from the same source tree and are being developed/ported by the same people. But, they are at different versions. The IBM Browser is at either 0.9.4.1 or 0.9.6. As I understand it, IBM is releasing versions to match with Netscape. So it should be about the same as Netscape 6.2. Same features, same bugs :) Warpzilla is taken from the current source tree of Mozilla. 0.9.8 is the latest milestone release. Warpzilla 0.9.8 was released within 48 hours of the Windows and Linux versions. And everyday there are two builds with from the latest source if you want to try them. I'm running a nightly build from 27/2. And I can't fault it. As to what's in Warpzilla that isn't in the current IBM Browser, the obvious things that I can think of are: - Tabbed browsing - The enable java script option has been divided into a few options, so you can keep Javascript on, but do things like stopping a page from opening other windows (ie. no popups!) or changing the status bar text. - less bugs, or did I say that before :) -- David Forrester davidforatterrigal dot net dot au http://www.os2world dot com/djfos2/
