No comment.
So fine, it's available in Windows 95 and NT 4.0++. But that
doesn't say anything about the browsers. How many browsers
exist for these platforms? (We know about Netscape and IE,
but there are many others, less well known, no?) How many
different releases of each browser? Do they all allow
themselves to be invoked in this way? If somebody has the
answers to these questions, it might save us a lot of work.
