[WEB4LIB] Re: Netscape plugins/K-Meleon question

[John Creech]

Andrew,

Out of curiousity, how is development going on K-Meleon?  It's a sweet
little browser and we're using it at some public and staff workstations.
I just checked sourceforge and see that the last release was 0.6.  Is
development continuing?  Thanks.
