Sorry yoav, been busy.

netbsd-dev folks:  Try the linux version
(setenv ATHENA_SYS i386_linux1; netscape)
Do any of you know any reason not to just scrap the BSDi binary?

Err, let me try that again, since the last time I sent
this, I got no response.

Netscape 2.0 for BSDi doesn't support Java
Netscape 2.0 for Linux does.

right now, the program we have installed for NetBSD is the BSDi
version (so NetBSD is running a BSDi binary). We could easily
put a linux version in there, and NetBSD will run that fine.
(In fact, we could just put a symlink to the linux version).

This will gain us Java support, which seems like a feature.

Any objections to doing that?
