When I installed Warp 4, the install placed an icon on my desktop which, when 
clicked, would go out and get a copy of the then current version of 
Netscape/2.  I did so, and that version was very buggy and virtually 
unuseable - crashed *at least* 4 times an hour (literally).  Since others 
didn't see the problems I did, or wouldn't admit to it, I was told adnauseum 
that what I had was a copy of the 'leaked beta'.  I found that quite strange, 
too, since I had gotten it via the desktop icon, unless IBM itself was 
leaking the beta! :^)
FWIW, the *only* update of Netscape/2 I have *ever* used (including the 
latest one) that didn't create more problems than it fixed was the 
International version, and I can't find a copy of it any longer - it 
mysteriously disappeared from everywhere I had seen it in the past.
Were there a simple way to determine just which files installing Netscape/2 
replaced (all of them!) I would simply delete the thing and use
WebExplorer all the time, and avoid any site which requires Netscape. 
WebExplorer at least works!
Better yet, IMHO, would be for the Netscape/IBM team to tell us upfront what 
they were going to overwrite (in each and every directory) so the time 
necessary to repair the damage could at least be minimized.
