Re: [newbie] Netscape and .png

[Dacia and AzureRose]

.png is a file type that is highly compressed without
much quality loss.  Sort of a suped up .jpg.  It is
not a proprietary format of any kind.  It just hasn't
caught on yet is all.  Gimp'll read em.  Most browsers
will too.  I don't remember running into one recently
so I can't say for sure if there is a problem with
your install of netscape or if linuxnetscape doesn't
support that format.  Anyone have any insights?
