When you need to find an older file that was once common but has long
since been superseded on most ftp servers, try:

http://www.filez.com/

Despite the name, it has nothing directly to do with hackers or warez.

The main search page has the option to query for files from various
flavors of Windows, DOS, Unix, Netware, Macintosh, Newton, OS/2, Acorn,
Amiga and Atari.

Best results are obtained by setting the number of files returned option
to the highest number - 500.

A quick search turned up Netscape .9, 1.1N and various versions of 2 thru
4. For mosaic, there was some version of 1, a lot of version 2, an OS/2
version and some unknown versions. The file names can be a little cryptic.

The only problem is that they seem to search their own indexes of the ftp
servers and they may not be quite as up to date as what is actually on
the server. So there is no guarantee the search will find real files, but
there are usually enough duplicate listings that one of them will work.
