Sorry about that, I'll add to my warning something like "to the best
of my
personal experience", which hopefully would help to avoid confusion.
I use
Netscape 4.7 with Win-2000, and never have any problems with it.
That's why
I've never tried to clean it out of the system, and might be unaware
of any
complexities associated with this.
I also run simultaneously with Netscape 4.7 (I mean they all are open
most
of the time on the same box) Netscape 7, Mozilla, Opera, and, of
course, IE.
I use them to test my JavaScrip-intensive pages. I used to have most
of the problems with IE (what else?). Still can't get IE intepret a
relatively
simple script
http://www.davar.net/INTERNET/JAVA-SCR/POSITION.HTM
for building Go board position. All other browsers chew it without a
glitch.
As for 4.7, I've simply got accustomed to it, like it's simple and
compact appearence (when cleared of stupid icons) that leaves most of
the screen for content. As I use other browsers for testing, I didn't
saw any significant reason to move from 4.7 to one of them so far. I
won't hesitate to switch
when I'll see such reason.
