	OmniWeb 2.0b4h has problems that has been acknowledged by the
company (like the bug associated with fixed frames).  Also, the lack of
JAVA support makes my home page look funny... http://www.mysolution.com/
The UNIX and the Win32 version of NetScape, or NetScape Gold, currently are 
better, IMHO, than OmniWeb.

	You are lucky.  But then, it is Beta 4.0h

	I only use NT (in terms of modern MS OS), so no comment here.
