To see the problems described below, follow the complete examples described in example #1 or example #2 .

2.9.1 - With the Compuserve version of Mosaic, when one tries to access a state one gets instead the state that follows alphabetically, for example Illinois instead of Idaho. The same is true for any other state trying to be acessed. One cannot obtain the data for Alabama at all. This problem is still present with LOOKUP version 1.4.

The problem does not occur with Mosaic in a Box for Windows 95.

SPRY released a version of Compuserve Mosaic in November 1995 that is basically a 16-bit version of SPRY's Mosaic for Win95. You can get this new version by downloading Wincim 2.0.1 which includes Mosaic 4.00.08.20. If problems continue, look for another upgrade which was to be released in March 1996 at http://support.spry.com. This coming upgrade will include table support.
