 PK> Hi Bat,

 BL> After installation completes, and I
 BL> reboot, when I click on the Mozilla icon, it briefly gets the 'striped
 BL> background', then returns to normal, and NADA!

 PK> It sounds like Mozila v1.8 cannot find the GCC Runtime .DLL files that
 PK> it needs...
 BL> mozilla-os2-1_8a4-installer.exe (from the Moz site?)

 PK> From Mozilla 1.4, I tried Firefox 1.0 (didn't like that, too
 PK> simplistic, not customisable enough and too much a Windows Weany
 PK> style), I then moved to 1.8a5 direct without any of the in between
 PK> versions and have been there ever since (~4 months now). It works
 PK> great for me...
 PK> It really does sound like the GCC Runtime (similar to the EMX runtime)
 PK> is not available, the symptoms you report sound EXACTLY like that is
 PK> missing. Note that the install docs included IN the Mozilla archive do
 PK> not include specific details about the install for OS/2, you need to
 PK> read the OS/2 install details on the Mozilla Web site see below) to
 PK> get the details for the OS/2 install.  If you went here to get Mozilla
 PK> - http://www.mozilla.org/ports/os2/
 PK> then follow these instructions (a link further down the above page) -
 PK>
 PK> http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.7/installation-ports.html#port
 PK> s_os2 and get the latest GCC LIBC05 package from here -
 PK> http://www.innotek.de/products/gccos2/download/gccos2download_e.html

 PK> Basically, because the Compiler that was used for Mozilla was changed
 PK> somewhere between v1.4 and v1.7, the GCC run-time became a required
 PK> environment for the later builds. just place the 2 x .DLL flies
 PK> somewhere on your LIBPATH and you should be fine.
 PK> Good luck.............pk.

Hi Peter,
I already had libc04 & 05 in d:\ecs\dll\ with all the 'right stuff' in
my CFSys file. I believe Herbert may have nailed it with the 'remove
IWB' so we'll see how that goes. Thanks for your reply.
Good Modeming!  /\oo/\
