pq05401 - Attempts to initiate a DDE conversation with Netscape Naviagtor for OS/2 fails.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Affected Platforms:

	OS/2


Affected Features:

	Base Smalltalk

Prerequisites:



Symptom:

	The WinDdeInitiate function is used by a client application to
	request a DDE conversation with a server applcation.  One of 
	the parameters passed on this call is a conversation context.  
	The first field in this structure (ULONG cb) contains the 
	length of the structure.  When Netscape Navigator processes 
	the WM_DDE_INITIATE message, it checks this field to see if 
	it contains the correct value; if it soesn't the conversation is 
	rejected. 

	DdeClient>>connect:topic: creates a new instance of 
	OSConvcontext which is passed as the conversation context 
	to the WinDdeInitiate function.  The reference field of 
	OSConvcontext is a byte array and when a new instance of 
	OSConvcontext is created, this byte array is initialized to 0s.   
	As a result, the cb field in the conversation context is 0 and 
	Netscape rejects the conversation.


Solution:

	Open a workspace on file pq05401.st and file in the patch.

	pq05401.st is the updated DdeClient>>connect:topic: method.
	The change made to this method was to add the following line:

   	context cb: context reference size.
