  Description :   Complete resource file for Netscape 4.72. It is for people which like to have their Netscape speak german. Netscape also asks for confirmation on exit.  
  Obtained from :   Archive of Netscape for AIX  
  Comment :   To adopt this for other versions of Netscape search for Netscape.version: and change it to the new version. You should also make a diff between your old Netscape.ad and the new one (usually located in <install-prefix>/lib/netscape/Netscape.ad) and merge changes.
