Hi Paul, Stefan, Bart,

it did't change affairs, when starting the test of GEOTC from Netscape 
6, as reported by Stefan as well. I was getting results for the first 3 
tests however, and continued the online calc's for 1.5hours more. By 
then I was no more able to read the results, because the Netscape 
Browser got blocked, and had to be restarted, as also reported by 
Stefan. But I had never to restart the whole PC   (When I wrote 
Cltrl-Alt-Del in my former mail, it means, this was only used to enter 
the task manager screen of Windows...thougt, this might have led to some 
misunderstanding). BTW, I'm running Windows 2000 release 5.00.2195 
(german).

Well, that was about trying online. But another way was leading me to 
make my first successful trials with FANTC: just by downloading the zip 
from Bart's site. I was able to run some tests by using IE6, and NOT to 
abort the Java, when the well known warning-message occured (in fact I 
got really short calculation times, i.e. about 11sec's for the first and 
~22sec's for the second-last tests). Have to try it now on real coils.

Oddly enough, the same was not the case, when using Netscape 6: the 
offline activation of  FANTC was showing the same problems, as in online 
use: long time >200s till first display of "system computing", and >1h 
time without further results visible. This might lead to the conclusion, 
the problem beeing tied to how the browser deals with Java and 
Java-script, and probably not the operating system? (BTW: Marco, with 
best performance, is using Win 2000 as well).

Thank you for help, trying to resolve these problems.
Cheers,   Kurt
