Hi
One question keep on bugging me. Instead of writing mozilla, couldn't they clean
up netscape sources and made different modules available? i.e. one for page
rendering, one for javascript, one for netscape composer etc...
Looking at Netscape 6 and Mozilla (I don't remember the version I used), I don't
feel that a product upgrade or a complete rewrite was necessary. Had there been
modules available, that would have been improved much faster by third party
developers.
I am still confused, what a complete rewrite of netscape aka mozilla achieved
against (bit) stable 4.x versions. Something that couldn't have been fixed with
existing code base?
