I am almost positive that this has nothing to do with MUI because
AWeb does not use or rely on MUI in any way, and, it happens with AWeb
also. It is true that Miami uses MUI, but, Miami is not being consulted
while a file is being transmitted to a browser, providing that it is not
a secure file. I have a sneaking suspicion that the problem lies in the
programmer doing a "no-no" in programming the browser. The "no-no" is
either the programmer is NOT following the rules for programming, as set
down by Commodore, for the Amiga, by the programmer directly addressing
certain hardware, or, the programmer is specifying Chip RAM in the pro-
gram without regard to there being a finite amount (Even if you have a
Picasso Card and 128 megs of RAM, including the two megs of Chip RAM, it
still is a finite amount of RAM.), so when it runs out of the RAM, it
does not know what to do. I do not need that kind of situation.
Anyhow, if you hear of anything being done to correct this, let me
know.
