I am running the bsdi version of Netscape on my FreeBSD 2.0.5 system, and
it works great. The only thing that I haven't been able to get working so
far is the 'helper applications' for things like sending audio files to the
sound card and things like that. Under the 'preferences' menu there is a
section for 'helper applications', and that brings up a dialog box that
lists the files where Netscape expects to find information about these
programs. The Netscape help file gives explicit instructions on how to
configure these for Windows and Mac users, and then it says something like
'if you are running unix, just edit the .mime.types file'. Note that it
doesn't say *what* to put in it. Has anyone here done this?
Thanks.
