I really appreciate the info. The confusion I have is because when I downloaded Mozilla 1.5 and installed it on my computer before, it took over my Netscape browser and really messed up my email program, along with any Netscape 7.2 directory and files I had installed, and screwed up my Netscape 7.2 browser so bad I couldn't even use it. I then uninstalled Mozilla 1.5, and had to reinstall Netscape 7.2.
I do realize that Netscape won't be creating anymore browser updates, but I don't want to lose the browser because of installing Mozilla.
I would like to install Mozilla again, but do you or anyone else on the list know if there is a way to install Moz 1.5 without messing up my Netscape 7.2 files, etc.?

The problem there lies in the fact that Netscape uses Mozilla directories for your files (cache, email, etc.). I don't know about Win9x/Me, but on Win2k and above, and on Linux this is true. In theory, they should be able to share those directories, but this isn't always true. It takes a bit of pointing Netscape somewhere else, but you can manually configure all it's paths.

Jan,
Mozilla versions do not tally directly with Netscape versions. Mozilla is a
browser in its own right. Netscape has been using Mozilla as the engine of
its browser from version 6 of Netscape onwards.
I heard recently that new development work on Netscape browsers is to end
altogether anyway. All that will be left of the pioneering company will be
the name. A bit sad really, one nil to Bill.
