There has never in the past been a Netscape 6.x release (beta or final) that wasn't well-publicized on the n.p.m.* newsgroups in advance (except for minute-bug-fix releases like 6.2.1). That's not to say that it *definitely* couldn't happen, but thus far there's no precedent for it. The conventional wisdom around here is that mozilla 1.0 will form the basis of Netscape 6.5; so far I haven't heard any suggestions of betas being released prior to that, which either suggests that there aren't any planned or that they're far enough away that detailed feature-planning for the betas hasn't started yet. Either way they *probably* won't be based on 0.9.8 - although I could be proven wrong. Stuart. -- Stuart Ballard, Programmer FASTNET - Internet Solutions 215.283.2300, ext. 126 www.fast.net
