Yes I am aware of Secclab - I've had a look and I was thinking of working on
that.

As far as I know however, it doesn't support Netscape 6.1 - there is a post
on the Secclab mailing list that implies that porting to 6.1 would be a
major development effort,
basically rewriting the plugin from scratch, that's why I was leaning
towards that option.

If someone could tell me what is missing from the Netscape 6.1 version of
mozzila that
makes it difficult to perform that port, it would be a good start ;-).

Thanks,

Matej
