WOW !! What a load of fun I have had......... My older copy of NetScape is
so buggy that I only use it as a last resort in preference to WebExplorer.
What I have now found on a couple of occassions is that WebEx (latest avail
AFAIK) does not present data that is seen by Netscape, which is part of why I
have been trying to update Netscape. That this is the case at IBM sites seems
ironic in the extreme but it is so. IBMs Webex is disfunctional at IBM sites.
Last night I revisited Software.ibm.com and many layers down finally was able
to download NetScape. The "buttons" were simply not visible previously. I had
a look at Java 1.1 but being a 28 meg, 170 minute download decided against it
Thanks to those who have responded and commented re above. Now to install
NetScape...........
Mike.
