Well - if you have netscape sources I'd love a copy too ;) Some of the problems are just things wrong with netscape - we just have to wait for a new release to get them fixed ( delete the core - its pretty useless without sources ). There is one problem with netscape that can be fixed which relates to some X stuff that needs to be fixed. If you look in the blurb netscape comes with it should tell you how to fix it ( something to do with fonts ). David.
