Netscape 4.61 was produced under contract with Netscape. IBM did include most of the fixes that were in the later Netscapes, but could not up the release version number as you already know. I was referring to the Mozilla based products. Netscape 6.1 (mozilla 0.9.2) was the first IBM Web Broswer. Netscape 6.2 (Mozilla 0.9.4) was the second release. (all this from memory) Since then, IBM has only refreshed its release with some bug fixes. Let end this as we are off topic here and just repeating stuff that can be found on this server. -- Bill <American Independence's Day is the Fourth of July>
