They don't require a.out X libraries (it's mentioned in their DESCR files), and of course don't require Linux compatibility. The FreeBSD versions also worked for me, but the a.out libraries took up about 10 MB IIRC and most people don't have anything else that uses them. I figured Netscape was big enough already. :-) -- Trevor Johnson http://jpj.net/~trevor/gpgkey.txt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
