it is a neat prgm, I am not captivated from what I have seen, it
is slow, it is unreliable and so on with many 9 apps). IE
especially is so ... so... idiosyncratic in its programming that
I would not trust it unless booted in 9. The Mac version 5.1.6
is surprisingly good but getting weaker all the time because of
CSS developments in web design.
Thanks.
I have installed Mozilla, but there is no application that I can
find... just a folder (under System: Documents) with such items as
cache, chrome, liprefs.js, Netscape history, mail, news etc. Sherlock
can only find this folder, an OSX installer and 3 preferences. It
actually seems to be a Netscape setup... and Netscape is awful!! So
where does Mozilla itself go to when instalkled in OS9.2? Or is it a
parasitic item which utilizes Netscrape? Every item I click on opens
Netscape. From what I can see, Mozilla ppears just to be Netscape!
Mozilla does not work in 9, only X. For the closest thing to Mozilla
for 9, you would need to use the Wamcom rewrite of mozilla available
at Wamcom.org

I think you're confused. Mozilla does work fine under OS 9. I'm running
the Wamcom build on all my OS 9 only machines. It's Firefox which is OS
X only. The Mozilla orginization stopped updating Mozilla for OS 9 a
long time ago, but there are older versions which run as-is under 9.
However, the Wamcom folks have continued updateing Mozilla for 9, and if
you want the "latest" version that will run under OS 9, then yes you
want the Wamcom version.
