[WEB4LIB] Re: Updated Netscape 4.08?

[Andrew Mutch]

Darryl,

Now that I've poked around some more, I think that you're right about NS just
moving files around. They had some older directories that made it look like
these might be updates but 3.04 has the same date so I don't think they've been
changed.
:)

Yes to all of your points about Netscape 4.x.  However, some people have
developed an attachment to Navigator and they can't be convinced to go to IE or
some other alternative..
