“AOL Time Warner on Wednesday quietly released a minor upgrade
to its Netscape 6.0 browser.”

“Version 6.01 is available from the Netscape FTP server, but AOL
Time Warner had not, as of early Thursday morning, posted the
update to the Web. The new browser also could not be accessed
through the Netscape 6 SmartUpdate feature.”

software than a finished release. The update is supposed to address
