I ran Mosaic on my VMS workstation around 1994 and had abandoned it long ago first for Netscape 3.0.3 and later for Seamonkey. I did not know that there was any development on Mosaic in recent decades I found Seamonkey to be glacially slow on AlphaServer 4100 "desktop" and so I have not attempted to do much web browsing on VMS in recent years. So... Is Mosaic 4.0 useful in 2016? Is it more useful than Seamonkey? Netscape? AFAIR, HP had a port of Firefox to IA64 VMS but not to Alpha, has anybody been so burdened with spare time that they have attempted to port firefox to Alpha or VAX VMS? Or any other web browser? I hope to attempt a port of the heritage version of nroff/troff to VMS some time in the next couple years (I think groff would be much more difficult). But that is a differant subject. -- Richard Loken VE6BSV, Systems Programmer - VMS : "...underneath those Athabasca University : tuques we wear, our Athabasca, Alberta Canada : heads are naked!" ** rlloken at telus.net ** : - Arthur Black
