Prior to Netscape going bankrupt :)))) we'd have to ask them to at least give/sell us sources for Unix version of Netscape. MS definitely won't support it. Or may be it will come up with nastier scenario - Unix version of Explorer which will coredump every 3 seconds. Then they will blame *nix*es for not being stable/robust/fast enough and tell us clueless Unix ppl to switch to Windows :) which will be rewritten in JAVA by that time and have HMTL support build into the kernel :)) Rashid. > > > Nate > > > > Frank > -- > Only in America can a homeless veteran sleep in a cardboard box while a > draft dodger sleeps in the White House - anonymous > >
