Subject:Re: Sources for AOL compatibility? From:"Walker, Arlen P" <Arlen -dot- P -dot- Walker -at- JCI -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 12 Jan 1999 09:07:37 -0600
All the programs I'm aware of deal with compatibility issues with
Netscape and its Microsoft competitor, but I haven't found anything
yet on AOL requirements...and have heard that it is so different from
the others that it's a really major adjustment to configure.
AOL's browser, for the most part, is simply a repackaged Explorer. (In
addition to which it's a trivial matter for AOL users to fire up either
Netscape or Explorer in their true form, at least for Mac users -- don't
know what it takes under Windows, but all it takes under mac is to dial in
via AOL's usual client, then run whatever other Internet software youi want
to run).
Have fun,
