Netscape still uses libg++
/usr/local/netscape/netscape:
[...]
-lg++.4 => /usr/lib/aout/libg++.so.4.0 (0x10c5c000)
-lm.2 => /usr/lib/aout/libm.so.2.0 (0x10c98000)
-lstdc++.2 => /usr/lib/aout/libstdc++.so.2.0 (0x10cb2000)
-lc.3 => /usr/lib/aout/libc.so.3.1 (0x10ce8000)
And most will imho agree on the fact, that Netscape is in some ways
useful :)
