When I attempt to run this binary, I get: mugwump# ./netscape ./netscape: Exec format error. Wrong Architecture. This is with the netscape.i386-unknown-bsd.B10N.tar.Z file obtained directly from ftp.mcom.com. I get this same error when trying to run statically linked FreeBSD binaries as well. Do I need to include some compatibility option in my kernel config? Shawn
