Hm, where did you get this rumour ? I have a native aout version of 4.5b2 (which expires not-so-soon as far as I can remember). However, I have made the experience, that Netscapes ftp servers are not always in sync. Not all versions are available on every server. > i also noticed that the ports version seems to be just a package, not > a true source-code dist. Sure, the complete source for communicator-4.5 isn't publically available. Only Mozilla, but that's another story... > i am elfen. You'll probable have to keep the necessary aout libraries (libc, libX11, libXt, ...) on your system. Communicator is still aout, and I'am afraid it will stay aout for some time. I wouldn't excpect a ELF version of the final 4.5. -- # /AS/ http://privat.schlund.de/entropy/ # # GNU is not Unix, BSD is. # To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
