[WEB4LIB] Netscape problem

[Teri Titus]

Oh yes, we have a problem with non-working links even though location bar
works, a lot, and on one terminal more than the others; we are using
Netscape 4.08 and Win95...often seems to occur in conjuction with printing
problems, print preview hangs, printing either hangs or just doesn't print
even though the screen says it did. If anyone has a solution with more
lasting effects than re-booting... I'd *love* to hear it...
Often seems to occur after heavy web-mail (hotmail etc) usage, but that
may be just because that's where a lot of our usage is...
