Netscape--How to Tell 128 Bit Version

From Peter Chin, "You might remember a while back I asked you if you knew how to tell whether or not you had the 128 bit version of Netscape installed. Well, I figured it out. All you have to do is launch Communicator; after it loads, select "About Communicator" in the Apple menu. If you have the 128-bit encryption version, you'll see right across from the "RSA Secure" graphic the following words in boldface: "This version supports U.S. security..." If you have the standard 40-bit encryption version, the words across from the "RSA Secure" logo will say "This version supports International security." I found this out after I mistakenly downloaded the 40-bit version and did a screenshot of the About Communicator page and compared it with the same from the 128-bit version."
