The user can just copy the cert and key DB files from one config directory to another (assuming they're not in use while they're being copied), and use copies to share certs/keys. > > And by not testing on the most wide spread Windows based OS, you are almost > > telling us developers to use the Microsoft browser and Microsoft crypto API > > only!

I have run it on Win98 in the past. I used to use win98SE exclusively at home, and did NSS development and testing there. People should remember that NSS uses NSPR for platform indepdence, and makes very few (if any) platform-dependent calls (e.g. win32 OS calls) directly. NSS is not consciously using any NT-specific or Win2K specific features. NSPR has separate versions for Win9x and WinNT/2k, and any platform specific differences should be contained inside NSPR. I don't know whether NSPR is being tested on Win9x regularly, except that Mozilla and N6 both use it and run on Win9x all the time. > People test the Mozilla client on Windows 98 all the time. > Netscape certainly tests the Netscape browser on Windows 98 > and Me. -- Nelson Bolyard Disclaimer: I speak for myself, not for Netscape
