Either I'm so tired that I'm missing the joke, or....???? [root@perseus /root]# rpm -q netscape-navigator netscape-navigator-4.76-0.6.2 [root@perseus /root]# rpm -q netscape-communicator netscape-communicator-4.76-0.6.2 4.08 is absolutely *ancient*..... (I think it would be a nice idea to support it, though). If you're only surfing Netscape's web pages to get "Navigator" downloads, "4.08" is, indeed, what they offer for old Win32, but it's most certainly *not* the current version of their web browsing product. For MacOS, they only offer "3.04" in the "Navigator" brand. (really, same support issue for OSF/1).... Tru64 Unix is 4.76. Solaris 2.4 is 4.76. Linux 2.2 is 4.76. BSDi is 4.75. SunOS is 4.61 (yes, even crufty SunOS has more recent support). FreeBSD is 4.76. HP/UX 10.20 is 4.76. 4.76 is pretty much their stable web browsing family. The reason, I think, for the older listed versions on the "mainstream platforms" is simple, to those encourage users to upgrade to a modern-ish browser, to use their browser/email/news combo software. If they have some sort of holy-war issues with an email client in their browser software, there's not a lot of motivation for netscape to fix it. They started updating their software on the mainstream platforms forst, which is why they lost the "Navigator" name earlier. I'm surprised they maintained that brand as long as they have, as they pretty much killed the "Navigator, it's a Browser only" product line a while ago. The current release family is 6.x on MacOS and Win32. -Ronabop -- Personal: ron@opus1.com, 520-326-6109, http://www.opus1.com/ron/ Work: rchmara@pnsinc.com, 520-546-8993, http://www.pnsinc.com/ The opinions expressed in this email are not neccesarrily those of myself, my employers, or any of the other little voices in my head.
