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. Rashid N. Achilov (RNA1-RIPE), Cert.
