assistant: Advantages -- support for various non-english languages and type styles;
tighter code and (somewhat) better memory handling...some people say it's
faster tho' I haven't particularly noticed.  BTW, if you put a '-3' in the
parameter box of the properties notebook, Netscape 2.02 for OS/2 is treated
like Netscape 3.0 by the sites that require it.
	Bugs:  The only one I've heard about affects the fonts and bullet
display....fonts are changed and the bullets come out looking like a weird
'Q' symbol.  This is dead easy to fix...just delete your netscape.ini file
and regenerate it by restarting Netscape.  You'll have to reset your options,
but that's a small matter.  IMHO, go for it...risks are minimal and
downloading it shows IBM and Netscape there's continual interest.

assistant: Hello Terry!
The old release version was 2.02E, the new version is 2.02.  I wouldn't
consider it a risk.
The new version has several little buglets squashed and appears to be
faster.  I've only had and seen 2 little bugs reported:
1)  Probleming sending e-mail or posting to newgroups
Fix:  Don't put anything in the spot for "Your name"...you can
put "Your email" like this instead:
nrmorrow@cybertron.com (Nicky Morrow)
... easy fix.
2)  Dashes that look like a big P.  This is caused by a problem
in the upgraded "netscape.ini."  Delete it and reconfiure.  Fixed.
Cheers,
Nicky
