If you have the ear of the person who wrote the above, I have a simple 
'feature' I'd like to request.
What I'd like to see is a simple text file included with each release, 
listing all the files (*especially* any files not in the Netscape directory 
structure) that the install replaces.
Last night I got the latest release, and (unfortunately) did not keep a copy 
of the International release version.  I installed it and tried to remember 
what was being overwritten - I failed at that.  The subsequent reboot 
introduced several problems I had not seen before, including the startup wav 
playing twice during IPL, the inability of PLAY.CMD to play *any* wav file, 
and the shutdown wav file only plays half-way thru. I reinstalled the older 
International version from the archive, and that did not fix the problem, so 
I restored the entire MMOS2 directory structure from tape and that didn't fix 
it either.
The inability to play wav files may seem like a trivial thing, but I depend 
on it working for a number of real-world indicators, and I see no good reason 
installing Netscape updates should break it.  FWIW, I have *no* interest in 
listening to what some remote site operator thinks are WaY KeWeL TuNeS as I 
venture out into the Web.
