I just discovered why the netscape command no longer runs a separate version of Netscape (which I wanted in order to prevent crashes triggered by one web page from killing my main Netscape process displaying other web pages):
Instead of just tracking installed files and wrapping environment setup, the Debian installer package for Netscape also _significantly_ changes how the netscape command works--it uses the "-remote" option, whether you want it to or not. That might usually be a nice feature, but the installer doesn't give you any way to get at the original command (without ignoring everything else in the wrapper script). More importantly, there is NO appropriate documentation of this change from how the original program works. There is no Debian.readme file (of changes from how the standard Netscape distribution works). There is no manual page. (The package's Debian change log file does mention this "feature", but one shouldn't have to look through a history of every change to piece together information on the current state.) Daniel
