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 :) -- # /AS/ as@psa.at / PGP key available on request and from keys.pgp.com # # If jesus was never born, we would not have a Y2K problem. # To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
