I do tend to use yahoo , as a search engine, at the moment ; I'm
 unfamiliar with northernlight and alltheweb. I'm always looking for
 good ftp sites , this browser is quite good at downloading files ,
 there might even be a more recent version.
  I asked a sysop at a local BBS to locate the WIN 3.xx version of
 Netscape 4.08 ; he managed this , I d/l'ed this awhile ago , only
 to discover that I needn't more disk space and to re-install my
 WIN 3.xx , which may require an updated video driver to function
 adequately with Net 4.08 [16-bit] .
   Arachne 1.65 may be out there somewhere as a free download ,
 pity I wasn't able to get the 32-bit , dos Watcom compiler for
 C/C++ .

    When I do a search through yahoo , when the traffic isn't to heavy,
 the result almost seems to be instantaneous ; perhaps the local ISP
 caches a lot of the pages from their site.
