Re: Internet Exploder 5 and OS 10.3.9

Hi, Steven

I agree one hundred percent. The only reason I am attempting to get it
functional is to test web applications. There are a lot of users out
there who use IE to access our systems here on campus and our developers
need to test against browsers to include IE for both Mac and Windoze.
All of us here at SIS use Mozilla, Firefox, or Netscape 8 for normal
browsing and IE only to test.

Thanks,

Charles
