I don't know. total BITCH on servers (multiple connections, one for the html document, and another for each and every inline gif. Current servers fork off a separate process for each conncetion) with the intent of making a whiz- bang server that doesn't fork off a separate process. Netscape servers would then be NEEDED because other servers would be comparably bogged down by greedy, resource-grabbing Netscape clients. Netscape has a great server, it's fast as hell becasue it doesnt fork off a process for each connection, which entails huge overhead. It's really a great scam, except that Netscape is millions in the hole and desperate for cash right about now. So they backed out on free copies for personal use.
