Subj: JavaScript bug in String.search() in Communicator 4.61[de]-990915 for O

From: "Rolf Lochb?hler" <rolf@together.net>

It seems that the search method in the following HTML+JavaScript
code - which is an excerpt of an actual webpage - always returns
-1 in Netscape Communicator 4.61[de]-990915 for OS/2:

<html>
<head>
<title>Test of search method</title>
<script language="javascript">
function validate()
  {
  rc = document.forms[0].email.value.search(/[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+/)
  if( rc < 0 )
    {
    alert( "Invalid e-mail address" );
    return false;
    } 
  else
    {
    alert( "Valid e-mail address" );
    return true;
    }
  }
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>
Enter your email address:
</p>
<p>
<form onsubmit="return validate()">
<input type="text" name="email" size="40" maxlength="40" value="">
</form>
</p>
</body>
</html>

I also checked Netscape Communicator 4.06[en]-98225 for
Windows and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.72.3110. Neither
of them shows this behavior. Also, Netscape 4.something
for AIX works fine.

By the way, using \@ instead of @ in the regular expression 
didn't seem to make a difference. In the Windows browsers
both versions gave the same results, in the OS/2 browser
neither version didn't work.

I need to run a 16 bit Netscape for use with Quicken 98 for my PC Banking.

Subj: Re: www.lotus.com

From: Alon Stewart <abstewa@attglobal.net>

It must be something in your browser settings, I have NS 4.61 and OS/2 and I
can access
both sites you mentioned with no problem on 28.8 modem.  I have seen very few
sites
that I can not get, unless they have weird plugins required.

Subj: Upgrade Netscape from 2.02 to 4.61 and keep config?

From: Randall Smith <rlsmith@redrose.net>

I am upgrading from Netscape 2.02 to 4.61.  I have tried several
different ways to keep the bookmarks, email etc, but the install process
insists on creating a new (empty) profile.

How do I keep the email bookmarks, etc in the new version?  What am I
missing?

Thanks for any help you can offer, I am at wits end......

Subj: DOIP with LAN - error message

From: JHB@jita.nospam.demon.co.uk (Jim Backus)

Occasionally when I select dial on DOIP, I get an error message saying
"Your host has a LAN adaptor configured.  You may not be able to 
access machines on the LAN with a dial up link established."

I use the other machine on the Lan as a print server and quite often 
print while I'm connected via a daial up link so don't appear to have 
a problem.

But why is the message intermittent?  Does it mean that something is 
set up wrongly?

TIA for any advice.
