The SJ Mercury asks if the browser wars  

force users to choose between Microsoft's and Netscape's browsers.  

In today's DaveNet  

I explain why scripting makes it possible for Microsoft channels to be distributed thru Netscape's browser.  

A safe way forward for Netscape users, even if there are lots of CDF channels. 

You can view the source code  

for the CDF parser or download the software thru a  

fat page. 

Question: "Does Netscape provide hooks that allow a script to program its crawler?"  

Answer: We don't need access to their crawler, we have a crawler suite that works.
