Lightning (SM/TB)
xynixme:
</silence>
I do recall an article over here, in German, possibly with an attached German Lightning for SM 2.35/TB 45(?) by Andreas K. ISTR there was some issue, related to an update of SM/TB.
SM 2.42 didn't complain that Lightning 4.0.8 was too old, but what the problem and what was required to create a localized build of a newer Lightning?

You are getting sloppy with your silence tag :P
I think it was my thread where I searched for translators for language packages for SM 2.42. It got a victim of the server crash in September :(
Andreas has published a german version of Lightning 4.7.8 in the german OS/2 forum, but I haven't tested it: http://www.os2.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1200

In the German forum I only posted the download links which will you direct back to OS/2 World's forum. Here it was message #13196 of the thread (http://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php/topic,1374#msg13196) started by Dave.

Ah, your are right, that's probably the thread. But from far behind in my head I remember that you also posted a newer version (4.7.9 ??).
Edit: I found a Google snapshot of the thread: https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=we...
But because you wrote "notdürftig zusammengeschustert" I don't know if it has any advantages about 4.7.8.

The 4.7.8 was a multi volume zip archive that was probably too complicated to handle for some users of broken unzip frontends, although I invested some effort in testing - especially for distribution in a CID environment. The next one didn't underwent this procedure. On rare occasions I use Seamonkey 2.35 (but not the latest) with Lightning 4.0.x that proved to be the most valuable solution available under OS/2 nowadays. As more GNU bloatware became introduced to the builds reliability and stability shrank to an unusable state for serious deployment. And better don't ask about compatibility. For existing OS/2-based web applications the Seamonkey 2.7.2 R2 build from Dave is the easiest way to go btw. or for windows client systems version 2.9.1. It's only my view based on experiences with real world applications. As time permits I will cook some borscht for Dmitri ;-)
