The assumption was in that you were assuming that everyone either uses windox or 'nix machines. The Conflict does appear with Communicator 4.X and Netscape 6.X using OS's up to 9.2.1 because Mac depends on Type and Creator Codes to differentiate between applications. information taken from either interenet Control panel or ResEdit is: Type = BINA Creator = MOSS, For Communicator 4.X Type = BINA Creator = MOSS, For Netscape 6.X Type = BINA Creator = MOZZ, For Mozilla so any item maped to open with the use of Communicator 4.X in Internet Control Panel (Internet Config).will open instead netscape 6 and in some cases try to open Communicator at same time. They could cure the problem by the following change: Type = BINA Creator = MOZS, For Netscape 6 -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phillip M.
