** What were you trying to do?

run netscape and usnetscape out of infoagents.

** What's wrong:

netscape script exits with "Netscape is unavailable on this SunOS
workstation. Try Mosaic.", usnetscape exits with "You need authentication
to use this program.  Type 'renew' at the athena% prompt and try again."
(the usnetscape script uses the arch/$ATHENA_SYS/authbin path to check
authorization, and that path does not exist for ATHENA_SYS=sun4x_56)

** What should have happened:

sun4x_56 symlink or directory should be under /mit/infoagents/arch so
netscape can find itself.
