I don't think that there have been any reports of it working on
Win95a.  It has been tested on Win98, WinME & Win2000 and is known to
work on them.

The "signal 11" means that the program is crashing due to a
segmentation fault.  This is not something that WWWOFFLE should do and
as far as I know doesn't do on any other system.

I would guess that this is a Win95 problem.  I don't think that I can
help you any further on this.  David McNab who compiled WWWOFFLE
version 2.6a for Win32 might have something to say, but I would expect
that it is an operating system problem.
