Well, yes, but IE and Netscape have different methods: Netscape uses
"SmartUpdate" (you need signed JARs and a Javascript), and Internet
Explorer uses "Distribution Unit" (you need signed CABs and some
special PARAM elements). Thankfully, these don't conflict: Netscape
ignores CABs, and IE ignores ARCHIVE if it's told to use CABs.
