Try to go to www.whoosh777.com (10Mb).

With original dos the page is downloading and the system is working.
With your library the system is blocked until page is downloaded, very strange.

Thanks for infos all (working ?) versions blocking iBrowse or only latest?

It's only one extra instruction after all.

I forget one question. Do you meam about SetPatch for ROM 1.2/1.3 or for ROM 2.0/3.0/3.1? If for ROM 1.2/1.3, then don't use this version (edit startup-sequence) due will be don't works for dos library from ROM 2.0/3.0/3.1.

Last one was more "blocking" than the one before. You can do this test always by visiting the mentioned page.

Tested only the last 2. It there a version number available?

Something like beta1, beta2, beta3... This would be nice and easier to handle.

You can get earlier versions from this same link (direct URL only). You must add digit number to the filename f.e. DOS31.lzx07, DOS31.lzx08 etc. But only versions with "dos.library" file inside works "as is", all previous are very buggy and better don't use/check these versions.
I think it can be GetCurrentDirName problem, due I changed error handling code for this routine.

SetPatch for 2.0+. Kickstart 1.x has DOS written in BCPL. The 2.0+ SetPatch patches Open() and Lock() to match the undocumented return-result-in-D1-as-well behaviour of those functions under Kickstart 1.x.

Runs fine on my machine. But I cannot test the iBrowse blocking-issue as my A1200 is not connected to the internet.

Hello Don,
