    The way I do this is I unpack the
netscape-v301-export.x86-unknown-bsd.tar.gz into /usr/local/lib/netscape

rename netscape to netscape.bin
	# mv netscape netscape.bin

Move the nls directory to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls.  
	# mv /usr/local/lib/netscape/nls /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls

create a shell script in /usr/local/bin called 'netscape' containing:
#!/bin/sh
export XKEYSYMDB ; XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
export XNLSPATH  ; XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls
export XAPPLRESDIR ; XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
export CLASSPATH ; CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/lib/netscape
exec /usr/local/lib/netscape/netscape.bin $*

remember to chmod the netscape dir to 755 and the netscape file in
/usr/local/bin/ to 755.  

That should give you netscape with java.  

I've noticed something interesting, as an aside.... the java in netscape
doesn't seem to function under acceleratedX.  Anyone know what that's
about?
