I am looking into using Mozilla for some of our Macs, but they run OS9,
and the download I am seeing is for OSX. I'm pretty sure that one won't
run on the other, but I could be wrong (considering I am a PC person).
Will I have to download the source and compile it, or is there a
download that will work? Thanks.

Versions of Mozilla up to 1.2.1 are available for OS 9. WAMCOM (based
on Mozilla 1.3.1) can be downloaded here: http://wamcom.org/ . (It's
what I use for web browsing.)

The current official Mac code is designed for gcc, which is not
available for OS 9. You may find an unsupported build of 1.4.x or 1.5.x
if you poke around the official Mozilla site. In either case, good luck.
