I copied over libresolv from BL2, which did not fix the problem. BL3.32 
(where I am currently experimenting) has an /etc/host.conf and BL2 does 
not.  BL2 has a 'hosts', which I copied to BL3, which did not help either.

Thanks.  I promised our friend a working Opera by Sunday.
And my new upstairs neighbor a copy of what we get working for him, 
probably on a 166MHz with 32MB RAM.  We made the landlord a Win98SE 
because he wanted WORD and EXCEL but we have DOS WORKS to try on him 
next.

Could the following be required:  libcrypt, libnsl, librt, libutil, 
libpcprofile, libnss*, libanl, libdb*, libmemusage?  I may copy them all 
over then remove one or several at a time.  Only about 1MB without the 
libnss* and libBrokenLocale.

We have one of these in the computer we are replacing for the friend and 
will try the package too.

Where do you find the time to be so helpful?
