Well I care. I've tried Netscape6 and because its type and creator code
is identical (a Mac thing) in and Mozilla, Netscape6 can corrupt
Communicator. NOTICE THIS IS MY "EXPERIENCE" using Netscape6.
I don't have this problem using Moz. Moz at this is about four or 5
ilerations above N6.0.1 and at the rate their going in order to get it
up to ease of use of Communicator 4.7.6 they'll need to go to 6.9.
