Navigator 1.x and 2.x release dates, and a 1.21 question.

Postby Andrew T. » Mon 19 Jan, 2004 10:49 pm

Out of curiosity and historical interest, I've long been interested in old (and now, obviously, long-obsolete) Netscape versions.
Does anyone know what the release dates were of these versions of Netscape Navigator?

- 2.02
- 2.01
- 2.0
- 1.22
- 1.2
- 1.1

Also, was a Netscape Navigator 1.21 publicly released? I can't seem to find reference to it anywhere.

Hi,
There were no Netscape Navigator 1.21.
To find the release dates for the navigators that you are talking about.
Download them and Install them.
Then find the netscape.exe file and right click on them and goto propreties and then look at the modifies date.
That will tell you.
I hope that this helped you.

Wellander,

If you make a reply to a message, then have something to add, in this case the URL to the Netscape history, please use the 'Edit' feature and add the addition to your previous message, rather than post another message. Remember that the post count is not important at the SD701 Message Centre, as the quality is more important than the quantity.

Actually, this will reveal the file stamp date. However, most of the time this should be accurate to within a few days of release, so thanks anyway.
