We are using Netscape 4.7 with Win95 throughout the London Institute with no plans to upgrade for at least another year. Probably switching to Win2000, IE for browsing and Netscape Messenger for email. As much as I would like to make my life and other web developer's lives easier, the widespread use of NS 4.7 is still a fact. Perhaps if more organisations upgrade their sites, the others will eventually be motivated to upgrade. I remember the same scenario with NS 3 4 years ago. -- Ben Parish Webmaster IT Department London Institute HEC Tel: 020 7514 6217 Fax: 020 7514 6046 ------------------------------------------ All new web support requests to the IT & T Helpdesk on 8888 or [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------ Sheila Thomas wrote: > > A while ago, I recall reading or hearing that a considerable number of UK > academic users were still using a version 4 browser.
