People are lying and saying you can't run Netscape on 1.1.5 again. 8-).
Looks like time for a repost.
This patch set does not include Brian Ellis' most recent patch to
add the 4.4 lstat() compatability to 1.1.5, so unless you grab that
from the news groups yourself, you won't be able to use links of
type "file:" (for instance, to make a local home page, or to make
your 'bookmarks' your home page).
This includes all of the cut/paste and X11R5/X11R6 compatability
crap for locale/nls.
This does *not* include the Japanese locale stuff I recently
discussed, since I don't know its distribution status.

I didn't keep a copy (Jordan: that's why I haven't gotten back to you
yet...). The main sticking point is the definition of these variables:
setenv XNLSPATH /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls
setenv XKEYSYMDB /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
And the creation of the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls directory, since all of
the locale stuff has changed with X11R6. Ignore the extract if you
have XFree86 2.x instead of 3.x.
Here is a tar'd, gzip'ped, uuencode'd version. It is relatively pathed,
so you should be in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 directory when you extract it.

And here are the patches to 1.1.x to make netscape run on it:

]
] 3. rebuild your kernel and reboot
