    Netscape claims that 1.1N fully supports JIS, SJIS, and EUC formats
    --- but all of their docs only deal with Macintosh/Windows support,
    anyone get it to work on their Unix box?

    In fact, Netscape actually violates some of the WWW specifications
    while still including those pre-standard tags.

    One of the few things I like about Netscape that I wish NCSA Mosaic
    would support is built-in inline display of jpegs.

    It is also the main culprit that has crashed my systems more
    frequently than any other application, be it Macintosh, Windows,
    or Unix.  :(

    Tell me about it.  Kodansha's Rayearth page took me 20 minutes to
    upload once!  200 byte/sec transfer rates are not fun.  ___/x.x\___
