Here is the patch and nls (only used for R6) code for running
netscape on a 1.1.5 system. Have fun!
Lars
SAVE THIS ON FREEFALL, ADD THE LSTAT PATCHES FOR 1.1, MAKE A POINTER,
AND PUT IT IN THE FAQ, SOMEONE, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND I AM ON MOST OF THESE LISTS, DON'T CC ME!
Sheesh.

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:

]
] 1. in /sys/kern :
] apply the patch
] make init_sysent.c (to rebuild the syscall table)
]
] 2. clean out kern object files from your compile directory :
]
] rm /sys/compile/YOUR_MACHINE_NAME/kern*.o
]
] 3. rebuild your kernel and reboot
]
] Now, if only I could get Netscape to quit complaining about undefined
] keysyms (yes, I read the documentation and MCOM's suggested fix doesn't
] work).
