Just about smack on, actually. Since the GCC you offered was the
earlier version, I thought to do a Google search on "GCC322" + "OS/2"
and struck pay dirt. It was a msg from one of the Yahoo msg areas, and
dealt with Mozilla 1.5+. Within the msg were two links, one that lead
to a source for GCC322, the other for Libc01. I downloaded both, and
stuffed them into my \os2\dll\ dir. Then executed the main file again,
and Viola! {^; This time it did its thing. It looks like a good pgm, but
on my P200i w/64Mb RAM, it just crawls. Makes NS seem like a speed
demon. So I cranked up Mozilla 1.5b, and it too came up, but was at
least as slothful as Firebird. }^: I guess I'm just going to have to get
off my duff, and assemble those parts that I have sitting next to me,
and try them with my PIII866 w/2x256Mb RAM. I sure could have saved a
bunch if I had waited til now to get the parts together.  }^:
Thanks for steering me in the right dir. Good old Google!! Can't beat
it!  Good Modeming!  /\oo/\
