Greetings all,
I just did a bit code compare on all three for Mac systems 8.5 to 9.22.
They are identical except for some error message dialogs, icons and graphic
images.
There is a bug in Moz that is also in NS 6.2.x also. Pages just won't load
especially if you hit the return key or enter key. Most times they might
load once, then never again, even after the cache and all settings have
been erased.
Since cbird uses Communicator and has not squawked, whereas I use
Navigator, I assume Navigator and Communicator are not based on the same
code.
Beware the ides of AOL. Mozilla in any form is still Netscape AOHell. I
also found updates in Moz that go back to Mosaic source, bit for bit in the
Linux/Unix and Mac versions.
For those of you new to the Interent, 94 and later, Mosaic was the first
graphical browser for any platform. It appeared for UNIX and Mac both,
within 3 days of each other. Mosaic was free and Netscape corporation was
formed with two Mosaic programmers who wanted money and the rest went down
hill.
