Hi,
Just to add what I know about the netscape/cache directory on the PC. This directory gets filled
with mysterious *.MOZ files. These are actually .gif, .jpg, and html files picked up while
browsing (making netscape quicker at returning to a site you recently viewed).
A freeware prog. which converts these moz file extensions into those of image or html files can
be found at:
ftp://futurenet.co.uk/incoming/futurenet/netmag/urendnik.zip
..and a rather nifty web page grabber, for off-line viewing, can be downloaded from:
