Hello
After receiving recent information about the magnitude of Linux machines
being used - we (SSIT) are now ramping up support of Websis with Mozilla on
Linux.
Please have any reported application problems similar to this - sent to
websis-notify@mit.edu, so we can address them.
We are in the process of investigating these problems and hope to have a
resolution in place soon.
Thanks
Andrea Collins

A user came to OLC today with the following problem:<br>
<br>
In trying to submit data in websis (e.g. entering the PE lottery),<br>
mozilla believes it is downloading a file of type
"application/x-sh",<br>
and thus fails to submit the data. If he selects "open this
file with<br>
mozilla", a new mozilla window pops up and gives the same
message.<br>
<br>
I was forwarded this message by Angie Kelic regarding this problem:<br>

However, the problem *was* on a Sun workstation running
Solaris-Athena.<br>
<br>
Netscape worked fine for the user as an alternative, but this
seemed<br>
like a bug that you folks would want to know about...<br>
<br>
