Why a floppy? It's much faster and more convenient from a temp directory on your hard drive. I have a series of dirs on the same drive as my "DNLOAD" dir called Z ZZ ZZZ ZZZZ and so on. I can unzip stuff into these and if I wish install them from there. BTW, I use Z because - a. it's the easiest key to hit in a hurry - b. it keeps them right at the bottom of any directory tree, hence easy to find and get to.

There are some links on OS/2 IRC clients at http://www.os2voice dot org/meetinginfo.html as well as an article on "Getting started on IRC" by Wayne Swanson. There are even web interfaces for many IRC networks so you can connect using any java enabled browser. VOICE uses WEBBnet, but there are many other IRC networks that can be used as well (like Undernet, EFnet, DALnet and others).

There is a simple readme outlining what I am attempting http://www3.sympatico.ca/brittonm/1st_readme.txt First I have a complete bookmark file containing the current URL's that I am aware of http://www3.sympatico.ca/brittonm/all_bm_current.html This file is really intended for new OS/2|eCs users, or those returning to OS/2 after a period elsewhere, anyway for new installations. The aim is to provide an os2centric starting point with the bookmarks, and the file can be used with Netscape or Mozilla It can be accessed over a browser, but it isn't really pretty, eventually I will create a home page to deal with this. It is primarily intended to be the users bookmarks file, that can be modified by the user to suite their needs, so I am not keen to trim too much, that should be the users choice. Secondly I have a file that is designed to be imported into existing bookmarks, which contains the revisions to URL's since the main bookmark file was distributed, so new links, and changed links can be added simply to existing bookmarks. Naturally the 'all' file can also be imported, but then the user needs to spend an inordinate amount of time trimming. http://www3.sympatico.ca/brittonm/new_bm_current.html I have put together simple readme's to describe how to proceed with the integration of the bookmark file into the browser http://www3.sympatico.ca/brittonm/mozilla.txt http://www3.sympatico.ca/brittonm/netscape.txt I will maintain an archive based upon all_bm_mmyy.html and new_bm_mmyy.html, so that users can have the access to earlier distributions. The all_bm_current.html and new_bm_current.html will be dynamic, but at the end of each month new archives will be provided http://www3.sympatico.ca/brittonm/all_bm_0402.html for April. Naturally I am hoping that the user community will participate by pointing out changed links, suggesting new links, and generally helping to refine the resource. This first release is far from perfect, suffering greatly from my own personal ideas, so I am really hoping users will put me right... Also, I would be delighted if I could incorprate more international links, European, Asian, SEAsia, as the current is far too NA orientated....
