I've been running Netscape 4.02b7 on both 2.2.2 and 3.0-970807-SNAP on a gateway 2000 Ppro180 with 64MB of RAM without a hitch so I don't think it's the 64MB issue. Matter of fact I haven't had to deal with the license-query issue at all. -- Al Mike Smith wrote: > > I've noticed a rather curious problem.
