And then I would still have to branch because maintaining the base line code would be my main concern.

I used 3.* until I moved to a company that required the use of Netscape 4.05, but then the support was on their shoulders so I couldn't care. However, as it seems not to be maintained anymore it is dead, and i won't test against it unless I get a paying customer specifically requiring me to, and that is unlikely (= I am not betting on it). Fortunately, I have discovered within a very short time that Lynx _is_ being developed and that hopefully makes for a reaonable outlook and at least I hope to get help if I am able to start for myself, inlcluding the functionality I want.
