Hi Peter, with regard to your view that Beonex would be just a "debug-stuff ripped" of Mozilla, let me emphasise that one common misconception about Mozilla is that it does develop a browser to be used in other projects, such as Netscape. Supplying a browser to the end-user is not their objective even though it may appear as such, Mozilla is rather dedicated to develop the source code itself and "attempt to provide roadmaps to the code, and to projects based on the code".
Mozilla's mission statement clearly states this as follow: "We will provide a central point of contact and community for those interested in using or improving the source code". Most importantly, Mozilla outlines "we are NOT the primary coders. (Most of the code that goes into the distribution will be written elsewhere, both within the Netscape Client Engineering group, and increasingly, out there on the net, at other companies and other development organizations.") That is the point, where Beonex steps in: We target the end-user. I quoted Mozilla's mission statement from http://www.mozilla.org/mission.html >From the technical side, Beonex differs from Mozilla in its concern about the users privacy and security: * A higher level of security is ensured by the deletion of cookies at shutdown, by disabled invasive JavaScript commands. * Beonex's message view mode protects the user from most worms activating themselves. * For all the browser's features, please have a look at http://www.beonex.com/communicator/doc/feature/security/ With the best wishes, Bernd Dittmann On Wed, 24 Jul 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Where are the differences between Mozilla and Beonex?
