Netscape dumps a lot of complaints about your x environment unless you set it up with one of the x files that comes with netscape. Somewhere in the install/readme file it says netscape looks in a default location for some config file for x. Make sure that is correct. Boy.. that sounded so vague. I'm on a W95 crap machine right now and can't check it for you. I'll tell you this: Netscape on a Pentium 130 under 2.1.5 is way faster than the Sparc-10 version for Solaris. Karl
