I'm at a loss to understand why the Debian netscape pkg, or any other "wrapper," is felt to be necessary. What I've done for many months, through versions 3.01 to 3.04 of NS, is use the gnumalloc lib mentioned in the FAQ at the BlackDown site, and the simple script also found there. I unzip the NS tarball into /usr/local/netscape, and place gnumalloc.so in /lib. Then in /usr/local/bin I place this little script, called "netscape". #!/bin/sh export CLASSPATH="/usr/local/netscape/java_301:." export LD_PRELOAD="/lib/gnumalloc.so" exec /usr/local/netscape/netscape "$@" Works like a charm, AFAIK. No problems with snazzy Java sites. Any drawbacks to this, anyone? --------------------------------------------------- Bob Bernstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> at Esmond, R.I. <http://www.brainiac.com/bernie> -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
