Netscape Communicator 4.8 on Netscape's FTP


Recommended Posts

Their web site still lists 4.79 as the latest version, but if you go to their ftp, you will see the 4.8 directory.

However, files under that directory is not visible, but one can guess the correct location of the file by browsing the 4.79 directory.

I am wondering why they still update 4.x when 7.0 is coming out.

They update 4.x for bug fixes. Just like Microsoft released updates for Windows 98, yet sells Windows XP. You still have to support (to a point) your users.

It went to 4.8 because 4.791 would kinda be silly.
