Makes sense. You are using a version that over a year old, so it's got to
be missing many fixes. IBM has not been enhancing Netscape, so the only
reason for updates is fixes.

That said, as long as you are satisfied with what you have, you should
stay with it. The nice thing about OS/2 is you get to make your own
choices.

That's not the way it works here. If you delete the index file (i.e. the
.snm), Netscape rebuilds it.

It don't do this very often, but I do have a few over 100K that were saved
this way.

The version I run has a shared memory DDE, but for basic browsing, it will
stay up for days on end.
