BearShare and IE 5.2 detection script

Hey, Magnetters

I have a user with O/S 10.3 and IE 5.2 who accesses the Bearshare
site. In the site she navigates to CalBears > Infosharing > and then
clicks on the link in the menu for "Attach File". She immediately gets
an error message that says something like "Attachment not supported in
your browser, you must be running Internet Explorer version 5 for
windows".

Now, note that the script displays the message for the Windows version
of IE and not the Mac which is version 5.2. I checked the source code
in the site and it does check for the mac IE version before displaying
but the link refers to UploadAttachFile script which may be coded
incorrectly thus referring to the Windows IE in lieu of checking the
Mac IE versions.

I may be off base on this but if anyone else out there is having
problems accessing this feature of this web site I would appreciate
some feed back on correcting this issue.

Greatfully,

Charles
