Netscape cache question

Yes it does. It stores the pages as html files and the pictures as
standard .GIF files. You can read the html files with Netscape off line
and the GIF files with any GIF reader (e.g. Paint Shop pro, Lview, etc).
Who needs MOZ files and cacheman?

UnMozify cannot read the binary fat that Netscape 2 uses. (Netscape
1.22 uses a text fat.) I believe they are going to change it, but only
when it is clear that Netscape is not going to be changed again.

David,
Thanks for the intro to batsh.zip.
Rather than copy files around, you might wish to use the 'set' command
to change the value of the win.ini keyname to point at the appropriate
netscape file. The following seems to work OK :
(This one is for Netscape 1.2)
ICON C:\WINSOCK\NET122\NETSCAPE.EXE
SET C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI|NETSCAPE|INI=C:\WINSOCK\NET122\NETSCAPE.INI
RUN C:\WINSOCK\NET122\NETSCAPE.EXE
EXIT
(whilst this does the trick for Netscape 2.0)
ICON C:\WINSOCK\NETSCAPE\NETSCAPE.EXE
SET C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI|NETSCAPE|INI=C:\WINSOCK\NETSCAPE\NETSCAPE.INI
RUN C:\WINSOCK\NETSCAPE\NETSCAPE.EXE
EXIT
Once again, thanks for the info re. the 'batsh' utility.
Best regards
Richard.

Yeah you're right, I was concerned that overwriting the original
win.ini would run the risk of losing any win.ini changes made by other
applications.

er..... yes.

Thanks, I was wondering how to get rid of the batsh icon.

Many thanks for these kind words. Perhaps you can persuade BT to offer
me a discount on my phone bill :-)

(Just looking at some ancient posts I'd kept and I wondered:) Are the
"|" characters instead of "." intentional, or were they just a mistype
(that got duplicated by cut and paste)?
