Hi - Is there a specific reason you feel you need to test in Netscape
7 as well as Mozilla 1.0? I'd recommend you test in Netscape 7 if
you're using any plugins. If you're using client-side detection, as
long as you're detecting "Gecko" instead of "Netscape" then your site
should work fine in Mozilla, AOL for Mac OS X and other browsers that
embed Gecko - which do not have Netscape in the user agent string. 

Here are a couple of links you may find helpful.
