	I suspect that the former, from:

netscape-v40b2-export.x86-unknown-bsd.tar.gz

	is the BSD/386 1.1 version.

	I would guess that the latter, from:

netscape-v40b2-export.x86-unknown-bsd2.tar.gz

	is the BSD/OS 2.x version.  The first one was a little more stable
on my machine (SMP kernel, -current from around the end of January) than
the second, so I went with that one.

	There are still a number of bugs with it, though.  For instance, it
doesn't seem to respond to -geometry, and crashes whenever you try to look
at the source to a page with a java applet in it.  (check out the non-java
and java versions of the SGI home page -- it only crashes on the Java
version)
