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.
