Quite right, Darrell. In fact, Adam Engst maintains an FTP site at
ftp://ftp.tidbits.com/pub/tisk as a repository of updates to the software
distributed on the book disk, including a MacTCP 2.0.2 to 2.0.4 updater.
I'd only advise users to upgrade to NCSA Mosaic 2.0a6 for Macintosh if
they really need access to the NCBI genomic browsers ;-) Alpha software
can be a problem more most users. NCSA Mosaic v1.0.3 is OK (minus the
forms capability) and is extremely reliable for 90% of everyone's browing
needs.
