All,

After thinking about this some more I decided too make another release that
fixes the DLL problem Arie discovered. I don't want to force people who are
running Win95 with a old copy of Internet Explorer (IE), or if they only
have Netscape on the system, to install a new version of IE. What I did is
create a new release that has two winqk32.exe files. One is for Win95 users
with IE 3.0 or later and all of the other operating systems. Another exe is
for Win95 uses that can't run the other exe. BTW I did test WQ and the new
Psn Explorer program on a beta release 3 of Win2000. It seems to work fine.

I updated the page at http://www.seismicnet.com/software.html with new
links for the 95 version. I also update the Release readme file with info
on the two winqk32.exe files. I sent Arie a copy of the Win95 version and
he confirmed that the new exe works on his Win95 system with only Netscape
installed. Unfortunately these system will not work with the new PSN
Explorer program since it needs IE 4.0 or later install on the system. 

If you downloaded the new beta release in the last few days please download
it again and install the new version. The version number is still called
2.6.4 but in the About dialog box the release date will be 10/14/99. If you
have the special Win95 version this will also be displayed in the dialog box.

I think in the process of releasing 2.6.4 the other day I zipped the wrong
exe file. So please make sure you have the version with the release date of
10/14/99. Sorry about that....
