Netscape Gold editor

[Earl Young]

     Netscape Gold is not freeware.  It is a part of their browser - which 
     under some circumstances is free (if you get a beta version) but it is 
     not freeware.  You get it as part of the evaluation.  The distinction 
     may be of interest mostly to lawyers.
     
     The editor is not bad - but it isn't as good as HotMetal, for example. 
      It does not handle frames (at least when I used the version in 3.0) 
     and that is a major problem.  It also rearranges formatting in your 
     HTML file.  I do a lot of tabbing and such to make the source code 
     easier to read, and Gold steps all over that and does what it feels 
     like with the white space.
     
     It's worth what it costs.  It is a good way to do some initial 
     editing, and it is handy when you need to do something quick.  I would 
     not use it to do serious Web page development.

I would like to hear from those who use Netscape Gold editor.  Since it 
is a freeware, I thought I will download it and try it.  Please point me 
to the site to download it.
