Yes, that link doesn't seem to work.

Try this:

ftp://ftp.ufpr.br/Internet/Browser/N...8/cc32d478.exe

Yet, not to worry, I have it already on my machine, except for the
fact that I have to set it up and provide my personal information,
which is where I stalled...


Do you realize that when-ever a piece of software wants your personal
information - that you can lie and give it fake info?

If it asks for a name, etc, then give it webster72n.

If you don't want to use it for e-mail, then don't. You don't have to
enter any server info for e-mail (SMTP). Just usenet (NNTP).

What personal information did Netscap Navigator require of you? I haven't
used 4.79 since I moved up from Windows ME to Windows XP. I recall entering
completely bogus personal information in some early web browser I used. But
I am reasonably certain that step was optional, and that I used the bogus
information to mess with the heads of the data miners.

However, anybody using Windows Live Mail Version 2011 has the ability to run
SeaMonkey 2.3.3, the latest version of the browser suite which most closely
resembles Netscape Navigator 4.79.

Thank you for your extensive help and support, 98 Guy.
I preferred N. Miller's suggestion and used SeaMonkey instead of the
Netscape Communicator, because it was interfering with my IE9.
Seems as if I am in business.

Thanks Norman, it worked for me without a hitch.

Thankyou for posting a much better formatted message.

IE9?

I take it that you are not running Windows 98 on the PC in question
then.

I believe that IE9 will run only on Vista or Seven.

He didn't use Windows Live Mail for that article.

Indeed. Neither will Windows Live Mail run on anything less than Windows XP;
and he was using WLM 2011, which will only run on Windows Vista, or Windows
7.

"[i]t looks like it's such a good news reader, that it takes you a
month to discover when someone posts a reply to your post. So I don't
expect to see you again until October."

So now you know why they called it "Eternal September". ;o)

The "users are idiots and are confused by functionality" approach of
Apple is a disease. If you design your OS for idiots, only idiots will
use it. I don't use a Macintosh, because in striving to be so simple,
they simply can't do what I need them to do.

Please, just tell everybody to go to Linux.

Except that "Eternal-September" isn't a "newsreader". And Webster72n isn't
using the "Eternal-September" news server.

Except that *wasn't* intended to be a plug for everyone's favourite news
server. Basically you can thank Amerika Offline for throwing Usenet into
the vast state of humiliation it's currently in.

I was trying to go for black comedy, but I guess CenturyQ must be
filtering humour now.

Oh, and although AOffL dropped Usenet access from its "service" six
years ago, you can also thank *gle Groups for continuing it. Forgot to
mention that.
