Hello Gerald - 

GM>>>>> Seems to me that there used to be a 16-bit version of
GM>>>>> Netscape but I think it was a "commercial" product and
GM>>>>> I haven't had time to seek it out. 

CA>>>> Try this:
CA>>>> http://www.devedia.com/dosghost/dos/inet_w31.htm#netscape 

GM>>> Thanks, Charles. I'll take a look at it. 

GM> I had a chance to "grab" v4.08 of W31 Netscape from your
GM> FTP server link in Poland. Then I read: "Otherwise pass on
GM> this space and resource hogging klunker." 

The full description is: 

============ 

I am using v4.08 of W31 Netscape (last 16 bit W31 Navigator
version) now that I have enough memory (16 meg) because I
needed the updated javascripting.  I need the javascripting to
access all of the functions of my web based email accounts
(hotmail being one of them).  W31 Netscape v4.x is slower than
W31 Opera with less control and ease of use.  In short it's a
klunker of a browser but does more javascripting than early 16
bit W31 Opera can do.  You will find 16 bit W31 Netscape v4.08
at the FTP server i in Poland.  If you have 16meg or more of
memory and need the javascripting this is your best first
choice (Internet Explorer v5.0 being the other option but a
much larger install).  Otherwise pass on this space and
resource hogging klunker. 

============ 

GM> I think I'll stick with Opera, for now. 

I think you overlooked the reference to javascripting
requirements but yes, Opera v3.62 is faster and sufficient for
most purposes.

GM>>> Keep it up Charles, you're probably one of my best
GM>>> resources for working with the 'legacy' software... ;-))) 

CA>> With my website and AXCEL216 I would say 90% of W31 and
CA>> DOS are covered. The glaring lack is for networking
CA>> because I never bothered to network my 16 bit machines. I
CA>> use Total Commander and a null parallel cable to transfer
CA>> files from one to the other. 

GM> Yes, and I would also add 

GM> http://www.garethjmsaunders.co.uk/pc/index.html 

GM> as an excellent site for details about networking and
GM> Windows for Workgroup v3.11, because without this resource,
GM> it may have taken a lot longer for me to get Wfw running.
GM> The clarity was phenomenal and I was able to do in three
GM> days what I hadn't been able to do in two years -- Network
GM> with Windows for Workgroup v3.11!!! You might want to check
GM> his site and create some links and he is very friendly
GM> also. ;-))) 

GM> I am also using the 16-bit version of Total Commander, but
GM> using the network link to W98 and Win XPP (much faster).
GM> <grin> 

I honestly don't care for networking software. It seems it is
overly complex and could've been done much better than it has
been. Maybe I'm wrong?
