[deleted for brevity] Communicator 4.01b6 works great here too! However, it seems to be a memory hog, and the memory usage just keeps growing, sometimes up to 40 MB virtual memory (?) (and X was taking over 30 MBs by then too) and by that time I would just quit and restart Netscape so I wouldn't run out of memory. Maybe part of the reason is that I am using some big Chinese fonts? :) But other than that, it is one of the most stable release! The response was fast and quick too! The thing that slows it down was all the swapping and grinding that my hard drive makes. (I have 32 MB RAM and 64 MB swap; Netscape and X together use over half of that... :) Anyway, for some reason, 4.0b5 was very unstable on my computer. It crashed very often. Maybe it wasn't built for libc 5.4.33? ^_^ Anthony -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling [EMAIL PROTECTED] Civil Engineering http://www.ualberta.ca/~foka/ University of Alberta, Canada Keep smiling! *^_^* -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
