FLASH: Shockwave plugin arrived with Netscape 4.08

[d.l.cheseldine]

Today I put Netscape Navigator 4.08 on  one of our Macs that hadn't

previously had a browser.  I was surprised to find that the Flash plugin

was included in the download and have a couple of questions:


1.  Is the Flash plugin also "bundled" with an Internet Explorer download?


2.  Users only need 1 plugin to play Shockwave Director (.dcr) movies and

Shockwave Flash (.swf) movies, correct?  But when the new browser reached

my Shockwave Director pages, it went off to the Macromedia site and did

another download.  Can anyone tell me why this happened?


Thanks for any advice
