Demo operation, and then install. Is that backwards?

It will depend on group interest. So far, you are the only one who
has expressed any. Since I have not seen NS 2.02 for several years, I
don't know that I have anything to offer regarding using 2.02 filters
under Mozilla products, so that won't take long.

Bookmarks are easy. I think I used my NS address books when I moved
to Mozilla. However, I tried to help someone setup Mozilla for Win
and it seems I had to export and import.

Installation and test, 30 min, if I don't fumble anything.
