There's now a port for version 4 too : - looks quite sexy !. : Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> <brian@freebsd.org> Brian, that solved the problem. Thanx! I should note, that I did NOT know there was a 3.01 in the ports, and the 3.01 I had was grabbed from ftp.netscape.com (I didn't look into the possibility of there being an actual difference). At any rate I grabbed the 4.02 port "kit" and used that to grab Netscape (read "navigator" ... read "communicator" ...). I should also point out that those who use the JDK for FreeBSD, there are hazards in the order of your CLASSPATH when using Netscape in conjunction with the JDK's JVMs. When using the JDK's JVMs and haing Netscapes classes first listed in your CLASSPATH you are suddenly confined to the Netscape JVM SecurityManager settings. In the reverse situation, Netscape doesn't find its Browser classes, among other things. This problem can easily be circumvented by editing the JDK scripts or shell varaibles/aliases. -- Lehitra'ot! jason .,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,., `Jason Gabler Home Office: 415-752-1969 (M-W,F) ` 'Programmer/Analyst Campus Office: 916-752-9215 (Th) ' `Information Technology - DCAS E-Page: jygabler@dcaspager.ucdavis.edu' 'University of California, Davis http://quadrophenia.ucdavis.edu ` `'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'
