No. no, no! I have NS 4.75, NS 6.01, and Mozilla 0.8 all installed on
my Win 95 system; I even run NS 6.01 (or M 0.8) at the same time as I
run NS 4.75 - Often, even...... No problems with any one of them
interacting in any way with the others - except for NS 6.01 with M 0.8,
which is expected, since they use the same profile folders.
