I KNOW THE GOD DAMN NETSCAPE IS OFFICIALLY DEAD
(i.e. zombi/defunct/whatever) I JUST HATE TO WORK WITH A PROGRAM WHICH IS
SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD. I ALSO HATE THE IDEA OF HURTING ITS RELATIVES IF I
WANT IT TO FINALY DISAPPEAR. .-)

I mean, come on - how would you feel to work with someone who is
officially dead?:-O
Like - you see someone you work with beeing run-over by a train, and next
morning - there he is, drinking coffee and reading slashdot. Would you
consider this normal?:-(
<serious>
Now, what is going on with netscape? I thought I have seen just about
every stupid surprise this program can give, yet there comes another one.
What is it doing with this ld-linux library (normally, one would expect a
program to LOAD a shared library, not to start as a child of it, or have I
missed something?)
I know how it happens (a "netscape" script does it), I would like to
understand WHY. For instance, why does the netscape use compat-glibc at
all - is there some reason against compiling it with glibc 2.1? It is a
4.61 version I am talking about...
How about the 4.7 version? Is it linked against glibc 2.1? Does it behave
better or worse than 4.61? In my expirience every version of netscape
since some 3.x was less stable than the previous one. This is a great
achivement considering the fact that its functionality does not seam
to grow (Oh, yes it got a "shopping" button...).
</serious>
By the way: Has anyone tried the mozzila lately? Last time I tried it
(july) it was still very messy, but I have heard some claims of M11 beeing
"allmost usable". That would be about the same as my netscape .-)
Same question, but concerning the wine - anyone gave it a try lately?
good night to everyone
