I installed Opera on a couple of computers at work. I think it was ver. 5.02. It managed to disable a homebrewed (not by me) Winbasic (I know this is not the right name, but I can't think of what it is) program that accessed an IBM AS-400 machine database and translated it into something user-friendly. It has not been possible to salvage this program, and the IT guys want to wipe my disk and start over! Not likely. I now have to live without this program that Opera screwed. And Opera claims that they do not access anything but the directory that they are installed in. Well, that's BS. If that were the case, you would not need to install it, you could just run the .exe file and it would work. It obviously puts something in the registry. And who knows what, elsewhere. Or what .dll's it screws with. On my home machine, when I try to start Eudora, Opera starts. It's too bad; Opera does offer some nice perks, but it's really defective. Maybe I'll try it in Linux again, but in Windows, it's not a good deal. At 12:08 11/13/2001 -0800, Ben Rosenberg wrote:
