Grrrr. Who took it away? I downloaded /pub/communicator/4.02/4.02b7/english/unix/freebsd/professional_edition/communicator-v402b7-export.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar.gz this morning, and had difficulties installing it: it doesn't seem to contain any app_defaults/Netscape. So I went back to have a look, and at 17:45 on August 3 (round the end of my download), the files appear to have been removed. I found the answer to my question: the install script doesn't install the app-defaults/Netscape file, but it's in the main install directory (which, for some reason, defaulted to /opt/netscape) as Netscape.ad. BTW, this is just a beta release which expires at the end of October. Greg
