The Netscape latest version (version 4.51) seems to have some bugs which
I noticed. On Windows Nt and 98 it is corrupting the *.tgz and tar.gz
archives. Upon extraction or doing a gzunip I get *invalid archive
format* errors. I discovered this problem with Netscape 4.51 yesterday
when i was downloading *.tar.gz archives from a few different sites.
