Hello Greg,
> Precompiled binary packages for Immunix 6.2 are available at:

and so on.
Does this mean that Immunix have obtained access to Netscape sources,
and have compiled it with the StackGuarded compiler for the Immunix OS?
Previous Netscape packages you have distributed have not carried the
StackGuard label.
I diff'ed the Netscape-distributed 4.77 binary against the one in this
package. They are the same.
Please clarify. Are Netscape distributing a StackGuarded binary them-
selves or is this simply a glitch in the labeling?
