Hi folks!

This is what I got!

In comp.infosystems.www you write:

>already compiled *statically*  for FreeBSD?

I grabbed a BSDI binary as outlined below.  It seems to run fine under
FreeBSD-1.0 RELEASE.  Have Fun.

~Subject: NCSA Mosaic 2.0 port for BSD/386

A port of NCSA Mosaic 2.0 for X is available via anonymous ftp to  
ftp.bsdi.com,
in /sw/applications/Mosaic/Mosaic-2.0 you will find the following files:

    README
       Text file describing the NCSA Mosaic 2.0 client.
    README-announce
       Text file containing the NCSA Mosaic 2.0 announcement
    Mosaic-2.0-bsdi.z
       NCSA Mosaic client binary for BSD/386 (0.9MB) gzip'ed.
    Mosaic-2.0-bsdi-debug.z
       NCSA Mosaic client binary for BSD/386 w/debug symbols (1.5MB)  
gzip'ed.
    app-defaults.bsdi
       Tony Sanders' local app-defaults customizations
    app-defaults.color
       Application defaults file for the NCSA Mosaic client (color).
    app-defaults.color-sgi
       Application defaults file for the NCSA Mosaic client (color SGI).
    app-defaults.mono
       Application defaults file for the NCSA Mosaic client (mono).

Source is available from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in Mosaic/Mosaic-source.
Requires Motif to compile.  .z files are compressed with gzip.

This port is compiled with native WAIS support but does not have HDF  
support.
The NCSA Mosaic source compiles out of the box with only minor Makefile
tweeks (BSD/386 entries are in the sample Makefile, you just have to
uncomment them and configure for your system).
