   Many (25?)  years ago I was somewhat startled to hear that an optical   
   disc   that I had found listed in the British Library catalogue had   
   been written for Network Nagigator and the BL no longer had Network   
   Navigator, so reading it might not work.   
      
   [The disc I wanted to look at was written for Internet Explorer,  but   
   the browser turned out to be irrelevant as it was missing!]
