Hello,

Under Windows it's not possible to install more than one version of
Internet Explorer. I was wondering if the same goes for MAcOS.
So, is it possible to have IE 5.2 installed under MacOS X and on the
same computer have IE 5.1 (or older) installed under MacOS 9.2.2
(Classic environment)?

Are you a masochist?
For Mac OS 9, I suggest Mozilla 1.3 <http://www.wamcom.org/> .
For Mac OS X, use Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, Safari.

Kind of, professionally ;-)
It's for testing sites on different platforms/browsers.

Yes, there should be no problem doing so. You could even install Virtual PC
and Windows with Internet Explorer!
