unless thier is a version that works on an xt or my old ibm at clone, with 
ibm os/2 v1.3.1 (tiger release) then id say thier is no point in even looking 
for the netscape one.
it would be mch easier to keep this webpage, umm html thingie sane, but i 
donn't suppose thier is much chance with jerls like micrsoft techies and 
netscap techies trying to keep the other out of the number one spot.
all that this sort of sillines does is make it hard for real people on real 
incomes still trying to make a go of thier old at clones. this is why i still 
use lynx, it work in dos on an at clone or an xt clone.
