Subject sort of says it all. I've got Netscape on a FreeBSD box and it sort of
works but it gives a whole bunch of "Translation table" (or some such) errors
and crashes when I try to paste into a text window even though I have the nls
directory which is supposed to stop that from happening. So can I make
Netscape work or can someone recommend another browser (with version, etc.
ideally) that they know works well on FreeBSD.

Thanks.

-Peter
