You might also try upgrading your version of Netscape. Version 2.02 is complete and available, and they are up to the beta 5 version of 3.0 as well. Even if you don't want to play with the betas, you can http://home.netscape.com and thread from there to the download pages to get the 2.02 release. I've never had a problem using that one under X on FreeBSD 2.1R. Sent to both NG and mail. -- Ken Are you interested in | byte-sized education | http://www.play-hookey.com over the Internet? |
