   Has anyone successfully compiled a POP mail program for NetBSDs (mac68k)?
   I have had no luck with Quailcomm's or (popperd..) or many others .

I got a binary of the Qualcomm POPclient from the Amiga archive in Regensburg
and it runs just fine on my Atari Falcon.  And I'd hope so too: a POP client
is a pretty simple beast.

   Also, has anyone had any luck compiling a X web browser for NetBSD? I 
tried Mosaic and it was complaining about not being able to find Librarys.
If a program is writen to compile on a bsd 4.x OS? should it definitly be 
able to compile on NETBSD?

I have successfully compiled Mosaic 2.7 beta <mumble>, but when I try to
*run* it it complains about missing entry points in a library.  I'm begin-
ing to suspect that my libraries are %^&*ed up, in particular that I may
have a mixture of X11R6.0 and R6.1.

   I don't know to much about compileing & crossplatform workings.

It's fun learning though isn't it. :)
