Based on information provided by your offices to Mac OS Rumors, I
eagerly downloaded your yellowbox version of OmniWeb (and the other
yellowbox files) from your ftp site.

After downloading and decompressing each of the yellow-box files, I
eagerly launched OmniWeb, expecting some sort of installation utility.
There isn't one.  But hey, I'm a competent guy, no problem, right?

The Browser won't open and says that there is a missing *.dll file.  I
search for it in all the stuff I've downloaded and can't find it.
Getting a little broader in my search finds the *.dll -- but with an
"omni*" tag in front of the filename.  So I rename it, throw it in the
system folder, and try to launch again.  Same error.  I find the next
missing and misnamed *.dll, rename it and throw it in the system
folder.  Again I try to relaunch the application.  Now there is yet
another *.dll missing.  And guess what, there is nothing even close in
any of the libraries to it's name.

So my days of tweaking are done for now.  I am eager to try the yellow
box version of OmniWeb at my office, however, if you can't include any
read me files, installation utilities, or even mention it on your own
web site, I'll wait for a few versions, until such nicities are added.
