Why? he responded without any antagonism that I spotted.
He favours Firefox 2 over IE6, and I won't disagree there.
He seems unwilling to look at Opera, but that's his loss.

Read the last two years of posts in this group.
And learn to snip.

Ok, I now realise there's been a lot of grief between you two, but there
seems to be very few folk posting about W98 these days. Live & let live I
say.

On topic: Winimp was my favourite extractor.

Seems OK to me, obviously!
only minor gripe is that it doesn't display x-face

you need a newer dll for transparency - I installed it and it stopped
complaining - I don't remember what it was now.

Ah scroogle on "opera windows 98 missing dll"
shows it's msmsgs.dll

here's a handy writeup:

or support snipping (smiley face)
I haven't used it's newer features (Unite, torrent client) so can't
comment on them (other than hey, I didn't ask for new features!)
