The flaw is is with Netscape. Mozilla and Communicator work fine with no conflict. Netscape in its infinite wisdom used the same TYPE and CREATOR codes to identify Netscape 6 and Communicator. Communicator, TYPE = BINA, CREATOR = MOSS Netscape 6, TYPE = BINA, CREATOR = MOSS Mozilla TYPE = BINA, CREATOR = MOZZ All they had to do was change one thing in Creator code example: Netscape6 TYPE = BINA, CREATOR = MOZS There would not be any conflict. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phillip M.
