Just thought I'd post the results on the below problem for record... Ends up that both the compat22 definition was off, and I had to remake X with the a.out binaries. At first though, this did not lead to netscape working. When all else fails, reboot. It worked like a charm after that. Thanks to all those who helped!!! --John >You also needed to have compat22 defined in /etc/make.conf when you made the >world.
