<<What is the best browser to use in the SOLARIS environment?>> I noticed that Netscape Communicator V4.05 supports Solaris 2.5.1. Therefore my earlier comments regarding Navagator compatibility were wrong. I would assume that all the Plugins now supported by Netscape Navagator would also work with the Solaris version. The MS Internet Explorer does not support Solaris only Windows and NT. Here is a table showing platforms supported and noted errors in the different versions. (http://www.netsation.com/products/network_configurator/v1r2/support/browsers.shtml) =================================================================== Sunw should be proactive with their installed base of Solaris users showing all the major software companies and applications that will work on their OS. Perhaps they can sponsor a shareware Website categorizing these applications and utilities. There are quite a few Windows NT sites and very few similar Solaris sites. A brief search on several search engines shows this to be the case. Developers continue to utilize NT because so many of the useful utilities can be quickly obtained (by downloading) over the Internet. Sunw is perhaps a year behind in getting similar coverage. EKS
