Stuart Painting sent me an idea thus...

Right. Had a look at all machines and made a chart thus...

ARMEABISupport, if there, is in !Boot.Resources.!System.400.Modules (not
Network directory).


FAST TB 3.12 6697 ARMEABISupport 1.05 OK
Lenovo TB 3.11 5433 ARMEABISupport none OK
AcerNet TB 3.12 6697 ARMEABISupport 1.05 Duff

---------------------------------------------------
Checked 3.11 on the big Lenovo laptop also running 4.39 & it does indeed
have those lines commented out.

I then found the !Run file in Netsurf 6697 on the netbook and commented
out the lines. Got an "Application may have gone wrong error." SWI &59D01
not known.

Reverted to my old copy of N 3.10. That works.

Updated to the stable release of 3.11 & that works.
