Folks,

First of all, I want to thank all of you who have tried the control. It
seems to work out remarkably well (modulo a few fixes that I need to do
anyways). I've got success from a variety of combinations on XP/ME/2K
with IE5-IE6. What I don't have, and still need, is a bit of feedback
from:
* Win95
* Win98
* IE4
If you _do_ have any of the above I would appreciate if you could just
click on the link to

http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~raab/squeak/plugin/test.html

and let me know how it goes. A few comments on the process (this was
raised by various people so you know what to expect):
* IE will complain that "the signature cannot be authenticated"
This is okay, since I don't pay money to VeriSign (but it might be a
worthwhile thing to do for SqF). Say "YES" and continue.
* If you don't have the Squeak plugin installed you will get an error
message saying something like "The system cannot find the file
specified". This is okay, all it means is that the control cannot start
the plugin. Say "OK" and proceed.
* If you get redirected to Squeakland.org you might end up on the
"unsupported" page. This is okay - up to now we were unable to fully
support IE5-6 so that's why you end up there. Choose the link to the
"download page" and click on the Windows logo to download the plugin.

Thanks again for all the help,
  - Andreas

Now the following should happen:

* IE will ask you if you want to download and install "SqueakOCX2.dll".
* When you say yes, it should load Kims tour from squeakland.org
* If you do _not_ have the plugin installed it should redirect you to
the download page at squeakland.org (from there you can download the
plugin and reload the above page).
* See if it loads all the images correctly and if you can enter any of
the sub-projects

If you find anything that doesn't work (e.g., like blank pages, crashes,
weird error messages) please let me know PRIVATELY and provide:
* The windows version you are running on
* The IE version (please be exact, the version can be found in IE's
about box)
* The problem you are seeing (as exact as possible)

Thanks for your help,
  - Andreas
