I've done that, but still have some problems that are kind of annoying.
1) Just now I tried to Shift-Button1 a ftp://....tar.Z file and got an
error saying:
uncompress: /dev/stdin: Inappropriate file type or format
I suppose that could be fixed by using fdescfs (or whatever it was
called)?
2) When I hit 'Send' to do a Mail Document, I get an error:
Netscape is out of memory.
Try quitting some other applications or closing some windows.
This is with over 30Mb of available swap space.
Any suggestions?
Thanx,
