Actually 3.2-R still needs compat22 for Netscape, so many users send question about it to ML and me. Now I recommend adding the note to ERRATA-3.2, not FAQ. Probably 3.2 users wouldn't see ERRATA-3.1 . Current Netscape ports would warn about need of compat22 to users and the notation wouldn't be necessary for ERRATA-3.3 or later. -- SADA Kenji "There's a rainbow in my soul" Gene Chandler To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
