I tried tell so 2 months ago :-) after first install FreeBSD 3.2 I detect
that Netscape doesn't work in "new" ELF system :-) because need X
libraries in a.out format. When I attepmt recompile XFree with a.out
libraries, I receive "-aout: keyword don't recognized" or like message.
May be, we must tell Netscape made Communicator for 2.2.X and 3.X
separately, in a.out and ELF formats respectively?
With Best Regards.
