Reggie, >>Honestly, I don't think NSCP had the resources to componentize thier browser the way MSFT did considering the pressure they were under. Netscape did not have the OS resources right? Still waiting for the IE version to replace the 2 year-old UNIX version of Netscape we use on the corporate network. If IE was truly as componetized as Netscape it would be fairly simple to port the code over to a SOCKET connection on any platform. The only reason you can include IE in your app is because you have access to the 228 Windows DLL's that IE needs in order to be "modular" with Office97. Which 'component' is easier to remove entirely from the desktop: IE or Navigator? Cheers, Norm
