Yes, I noticed a couple of weeks ago that someone did a HEAD request for
2-6update.zip just for that purpose.  I think that Netscape 3.0 provides
that info (following IE's lead) under Document Info.  I think it shows
URL, last modified date and a couple of other things.  Not quite the same
as Lynx's HEAD request (which shows all headers including Cookies, etc.)m
but still helpful.
