I am current as of today 4.0, I have communicator 4.5 downloaded some time ago (November more or less) directly from netscape and installed in /usr/local/netscape with a link to /usr/local/bin/netscape and I have been using it all day with no problems. My intranet if full of java and haven't had a problem, knock on wood:-) I just downloaded a 9M file after reading your mail to see if that would cause a problem and it didn't. Netscape is "as stable as ever" on FreeBSD Current 4.0 for me. That bothers me:-) I wonder why? ed To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
