Hm, where did you get this rumour ?

I have a native aout version of 4.5b2 (which expires not-so-soon as far
as I can remember).

However, I have made the experience, that Netscapes ftp servers are not
always in sync. Not all versions are available on every server.

Sure, the complete source for communicator-4.5 isn't publically
available. Only Mozilla, but that's another story...

You'll probable have to keep the necessary aout libraries (libc, libX11,
libXt, ...) on your system. Communicator is still aout, and I'am afraid
it will stay aout for some time. I wouldn't excpect a ELF version of the
final 4.5.
