To my knowledge, the number is >5%. The *latest* version of Netscape Navigator (4.6) is unable to make heads or tails of a PNG if it isn't inlined. Even if it is inlined, it's unable to display PNG's with an alpha channel component correctly. Maybe there is a way around this, but I don't know what it is, and it's not implemented in the default Netscape configuration. If some guru out there knows how to get Netscape to grok PNG's correctly, Adam Heath would probably like to hear from you. -- G.
