Topic: Reading .asp files in Netscape. (1 of 7), Read 46 times Conf: Other (Not related to VEDIT) From: Peter Rejto Date: Monday, February 09, 2004 05:59 PM Hello, I downloaded my customer.asp file from the secure Vedit website. If I rename it to customer.html, I have no problem reading it in Netscape! Now I would like to change the file association in my Win/98 program, but I can not. If I try to edit the Netscape associations and add the .asp extension, I get a message that it is used by another program. But that other program does not seem to be listed. Any suggestions? Thanks fellow Vedit users. -peter.

I am not sure you can associate with a browser, and most .asp files don't make sense standalone.

(3 of 7), Read 29 times Conf: Other (Not related to VEDIT) From: Peter Rejto Date: Monday, August 23, 2004 01:17 PM Thanks Ian, My friends are telling me that Mozilla is very close to Netscape. I upgraded to Netscape 7.00 and my problem got solved. Here is my other parameter: Windows 98/SE. Here I can edit the ""send to" list and I simply added Netscape. So, the association issue did not come up. I am in the process of upgrading to Win/2K. Do I understand it correctly: I will no longer have the option of sending a file to Vedit? For this feature I will have to install Vedit into the Windows registry. In other words, I will have to associate certain file types with Vedit. Thanks again, -peter.

And additionally the upcoming function "Open with VEDIT" Ted mentioned two hours ago. Christian

I was a keen user of Netscape 4, but it lost the plot after this. The current Netscape (since takeover by AOL) is too intrusive for me. A review of browsers in one of our most popular computer magazines described Netscape as "infesting" your system. Unless you are an AOL user I wouldn't touch it. I note from one of your other posts that you are upgrading to Win2K. This is a good OS, but you may find a lot of apps don't work. XP Pro is probably a better bet. Either way, as a Win98 user, you will find either a bit of a culture shock. There is a long learning curve to XP. You should consider a dual boot system.

There is a long learning curve to XP. You should consider a dual boot system. Yes, WinXP is a much better bet; especially now that Service Pack 2 (SP2) is out. While too technical for here, SP2 isn't just a bunch of fixes, but a fundamental change (improvement) in how Windows (and especially IE) now use memory management features to greatly improve Windows/IE security. For example, "buffer overflow" bugs are now unlikely to cause security issues - buffer space and stack space can no longer execute programs.
