- Pages will look different on different browsers. Netscape is the industry
- standard, estimated to be used by about 80% of all Web users. I would think if
- you have access to Netscape you should use it for authoring.
- IBrowse is another browser that is avaiable for the Amiga in either alpha or
- beta form. Many prefer it to Amosaic although this version isn't fully
- functional. It is "closest to Netscape, in terms of document translation."
- Amiga users are awaiting the release of several new browsers very soon.
- You should get a later version of Netscape, however.
