I'm not sure of the reason behind that problem, or of the workaround for it. I just used the Linux Netscape binary. It works fine under -current at least. (probably works under 2.2.2 as well, I dunno for sure.) > 3) I've seen one mention of 4.01b7 - but I can't actually > find it at ftp.netscape.com - is this available yet? Look on ftp23.netscape.com. It hasn't made it out to all of their other ftp servers yet. So far, it seems to be pretty stable. Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@gt.ed.net
