Hello. You might try calling 253-1102,the PC help desk number.
One suggestion is that you may need wshelper32.dll
The Athena bug reporting is mostly for Athena Unix problems. I believe
Sloan provides some additional help for students. You may want to talk to
them about your problem.
Thank you for using Athena

:)
:)at the error box, if i click yes, i get another box asking for my id and
:)password. once i enter my id and password, eudora works fine for both
:)sending and receiving messages. if i click no, eudora gets and error and

:)if the problem is windows 98, is there any way i can fix the problem
:)without resorting to installing windows 95?
