SpeakUp with Mike Kaply and Jeffrey Kobal of the IBM Netscape for OS/2 Development Team from 09/20/99

<jeffk I don't understand what you mean by "looked".... you mean hung?
<Kerni yes
<Kerni I can't do anything
<Kerni I have to wait some MINUTES, until anything works again....
<jeffk Oh, OK. By "lookup problem", I thought you meant the internet-keyword thing.
<fonz lockup not lookup
<Kerni upsa :)
<jeffk OH! Lockup!
<Abraxas Mike .... you hanging out in here already?
<Kerni right... sorry
<Kerni hi Abraxas !
<madodel They been here all day. :-)
<ShadwWulf greetings all...
<jeffk I'd have to attribute that to either (a) Java.... or (b) writing out your History file. You can see if it is (b) by clearing out your History before closing. If it's (a), then that's a battle we've been fighting.
<ShadwWulf hey KoolAde
<KoolAde hey ShadwWulf whats up :)
<Kerni jeffk: I have Java turned off by default
<KoolAde yep picking up me a few dic. never know when I might have to type in Finnish or Dannish,
<Timka hello all!
<WarpHoss hello timka.
<jeffk If you have Java disabled, then it is probably the History writing. Check the size of your netscape.hst file in your user directory.
<Kerni Abraxas: did you forget to mail me your papers for warpstock europe ?
<fonz Abraxas, any news from steven..
<Abraxas Kerni didn't forget ... just haven't done it, yet
<Abraxas fonz ... nothing yet :-(
<Kerni Abraxas: k.
<jeffk You can cause pages to purge from your History more often by changing the value on the "Navigator" page in EditPreferences
<Kerni jeffk: already done that :)
<Kerni I will see, if its better now....
<Kerni thx
<jeffk No prob... :)
<Abraxas Kerni I think I'll just send you 100 Brochures (English) .... unless you want the text sent and you guys do the translation and printing .... I don't think there's enough time left
<TheSeer hmm.. i didn't make a reboot after installing the GA actually but i have a display-problem in GA
<TheSeer http://dhtml.seite.net/
<fonz ops, my netscape.hst is 1.261.568
<Kerni Abraxas: ok, english brochures should be fine
<jeffk That's pretty big, fonz... that'll cause some churning at close.
<jeffk TheSeer: That site looks good here... what are you seeing wrong?
<lmaxson Works fine for me also.
<Kerni jeffk: but why does that seem to be a /2 specific problem ?
<TheSeer jeffk: if you reload the page the textline scrolling from the bottom up to the middle of the screen leaves the part it moves over blank..
<TheSeer it redraws it later..
<TheSeer but the "moving" has a problem..
<TheSeer i might have to reboot first though..
<TheSeer didn't do that after installing the GA..
<TheSeer I just didn't have this problem before..
<jeffk As far as I can tell, that's working properly.... on Windows, the text that gets blanked out on OS/2 doesn't even get drawn until after the move.
<TheSeer well.. i don't wanna blame you for something.. but it worked "better" in B2 ;)
<jeffk File-system access is slow, Kerni....
<TheSeer for what i know the page first loads the top-part and THEN displays the bottom..
<Fuzy|ogic howdy all
<TheSeer but the GA starts displaying it right away..
<Kerni jeffk: well... one more reason for us to try hpfs386 :)
*  Fuzy|ogic is downloading GA still...
<TheSeer btw.. it's still somewhat slower then the Windoze-Version ;)
<Fuzy|ogic Is the the Plugin pack better???
<TheSeer anyway.. i'll reboot.. maybe that fixes the problems..
<TheSeer brb
<Fuzy|ogic Who is the IBM guy we are talking to???
<Fuzy|ogic Does drag and drop to aWget window work?
<jeffk There are two of us... Mike Kaply, and myself (Jeff Kobal)
<jeffk I doubt it.
<madodel any1 get an error trying to update the PIP? EPFIE234: Cannot create the 'Plug-In Pack^Installation Utility' object on the Workplace Shell.
<Fuzy|ogic jeffk: pleased to meet you.
<Abraxas Fuzy|ogic !!! Hiya!!!
<jeffk Nice to meet you, too, Fuzy
<WarpHoss Smooth, installed in 1min 45 seconds. I like that.
<Fuzy|ogic Abraxas: Hi there! Long time no chat :]
<Abraxas Fuzy|ogic you coming to Atlanta?
<Fuzy|ogic jaffk: was that a doubt about the drag&drop question?
<Fuzy|ogic Abraxas: sure am! =]
<madodel Gotta reboot, BBIAB
<WarpHoss rebooting the beast be right back...
<Fuzy|ogic Got a plan ticket from Eugene, OR to Atlanta GA and back :>
<lmaxson The only thing that gave me a problem was the dictionary, which seems to be a DOS app.
<jeffk Fuzy: Yes, it was. Our drag interface works directly with the Workplace Shell, so other apps will probably not be valid drag targets from the browser.
<Kerni jeffk: what are you next working on netscape communicator ?
<Fuzy|ogic It's just a regular folder, though...
<Fuzy|ogic The program looks in that folder for jobs...
<jeffk Kerni: We're looking at what's going on with Mozilla, but there are no plans yet for what the "next communicator" will be.
<jeffk Fuzy: If it's a regular folder, it should work just fine.
