Grrrr.  Who took it away?  I downloaded
/pub/communicator/4.02/4.02b7/english/unix/freebsd/professional_edition/communicator-v402b7-export.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar.gz
this morning, and had difficulties installing it: it doesn't seem to
contain any app_defaults/Netscape.  So I went back to have a look, and
at 17:45 on August 3 (round the end of my download), the files appear
to have been removed.

I found the answer to my question: the install script doesn't install
the app-defaults/Netscape file, but it's in the main install directory
(which, for some reason, defaulted to /opt/netscape) as Netscape.ad.

BTW, this is just a beta release which expires at the end of October.
