I eliminated any duplicates & moved a few stray linux orientated files into /usr/... before running ANPM for the first time. ANPM added the directories at the beginning of PATH & LIBPATH leaving the existing entries where they were duplicating the directories in PATH & LIBPATH which I later removed. I had expected ANPM would overwrite any files already on the disk with its version but it seems that it did not overwrite all unfortunately. So now to the present problem. The Firefox 38.*.* series are appallingly slow at scrolling and after updating a few files for another reason I noticed that the scrolling was noticeably better with these updates which were i686 files so I wanted to see if there were any other i386 files which I could update & perhaps gain a bit better performance. This led to the problem of how to identify i386 versions on the disk. This should have been easy, just look at the CPU_Type field in the LX header. As we now know, that field is not set as expected by wl.exe without Steven's patch. I don't know which linker was used to produce the netlabs files but presumably it doesn't set it either. HTH...
