about 90% use Netscape as browser. 7 % of all visitors are using Netscap=

1.1B1 and have then the ability to read pages coded in HTML 3.0.
I do all the coding for Netscape as I can't limit the layout to those 10=

not using Netscape.
Netscape is only free for educational and private use. =20
Commercial/companies must pay for Netscape as for a normal program.

Subject: Why Mosaic
Hello.
I'm pretty new to this game of writing www-pages and I have been using
Netscape 1.0 as my main browser since I started writing.
I saw one of my "netscape-enhanced" www-pages on a Mosaic-browser today =
=20
and
got horrified! It didn't show my work as it was intended.
My question is: Why does people use Mosaic when Netscape is better and
can be obtained free all over the net?
Do you think that I should limit my layout so that mosaic-users can enjo=
y =20
my pages as well? This would be a major setback for me because I really
enjoy the new features in recent versions of HTML.
