Re: [WWWOFFLE-Win32] 2.5 crash problems under win98

[Steven Gabriels]

Hello David,

I just tried the version under NT 4.0 and it seems to work.
1 important remark though: it assumes the default directory of c:\wwwoffle
whereever it is installed into (eg under program files like for me).
Manually editing solves the thing.

Thanks!

Steven.
