You haven't even posted what version you're having problems with or tried to get help for those problems, you've just posted to this list saying "Fix TOR(sic)". Here's an idea. Why don't you thank them, very sincerely, for having generously donated their time to give quality software to people like you. Then, if you want their help, MAYBE they'll give it to you. You could also probably pay someone to fix the problem, if it really is a code bug that really only manifests on Windows 98 (of all things). This is a harsh post, but really, you're just going to personal attacks now. You've brought it on yourself. > On Tue, 10 Feb 2009 15:50:27 -0500, "Roger Dingledine" <arma@xxxxxxx> > said: > > On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 12:19:38PM -0700, mark485anderson@xxxxxx wrote: > > > (please read and comprehend in entirety, thanks) > > > Say, howz about fixing your latest "stable" version of Tor so that it > > > still works on W98se?
