It took me some time to get everything the way I want it, but now it all works super. Zip-files, that are offically not supported on mac, are now unpacked with StuffIt Expander. And movies, that normally are shown in Netscape, are now being downloaded. I love Netscape and I had major trouble with Explorer on several sites. In the beginning I could not even get on the NY-page with Explorer. Cheers, DEnnis..
