AFAIR Netscape 6.1 is Mozilla 0.9.2. 0.9.2 had BiDi checked in already.
Anyway, 0.9.3 supports BiDi for sure - except for a couple of bugs in
cut-n-paste.

HM>> The BiDi support is said to be a contribution of IBM Israel.

True. AFAIR the man taking care of it is even on this list. That, of
course, doesn't mean bug reports should go here, bugzilla is still better
;)

HM>> By the way, the app is also supposed to be much less sluggish than
HM>> the notorious 6.0.

Yes, latest 0.9.x made significant progress in this regard on Linux, and
judging from bugzilla, more X performance enhancements are in the works.
