Using xfix, I found a reference to nerws.exe in my temp folder along

Given what you did to get your reference, I suspect they're all
associated in some way with the mozilla browsers. However, it
isn't mozilla itself because the string "nsrws" can't be found
anywhere in the source tree.

I would think that the next logical step is simply to have your temp
folder open before you open your browser to see if you can spot one
or more of these files as they come & go.

At least someone else has seen this now. I may be nuts but not certifiably so at this point, chuckle. Hold the suggestion as to the temp folder until the end of this, OK?


Yep, and I didn't mean in any way to implicate Jan's URL site. Based on your message I tried exactly the same download technique with one MCP2 box I have with SMK 1.5 beta latest. Surprise! No NSRWS contamination in it with the download.


OK .. looking back at months of trying to trace this strange total lockup potential issue I have a very strong statistical inference with this and potentially something possibly related to WARPIN. In my notes I have a fair number of pointers to having worked, somehow, with WARPIN after which this appears. However this is the first time I have a specific combination of the use of SMK and WARPIN. In this case, WARPIN wasn't even used. All I did was use SMK to download the .WPI file, which the SMK is used in all the profiles to simply treat it as a file and download it to the hard disk.


OK, when you suggest that I have the temp folder open while I do this, I'm a command line varmint from the op system stone age. I've never even thought about doing this objectively, grin. Are you suggesting that I open up the temp folder as a part of the Connections Folder drill down? Then arrange my Desktop so that it, which should be empty when we start, might be coerced by OS/2 to objectively show that file object in it to appear during the download via SMK? And thus to give us a visual portrayal of the fact that SMK is either doing this or that a given URL at the other end of the process is trying to stuff this into the \temp directory as part of something?


Now a remote stuffing incident would be a huge item for an OS/2 afficianado as I see it? Specially if that remote stuffing were an OS/2 executable which could be prevoked remotely to do something on remote command. You Tu? Wry grin..


One thought came to mind is the possibility that you might have a default action defined for WPI ending files? It is possible for you to select to run WARPIN upon downloading those files. Check Preferences -> Navigator -> Helper Applications.
