Mine sometimes starts up just fine, but sometimes it dumps core. I think I just need more RAM. Is that a fair statement ? Can I tell anything by reading netscape.core ?

And yes, I followed the README file, copied the nls directory and XKeySymDB file tot he right spot, even set environment variables pointing to them, and I still get warnings about imminent crashes and bad keysyms. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks Scott -- -Vineet * Vineet Pancholi * Microchip Technology Inc. * Voice:(602)786-7461 * * Product Test Engineer * 2355 W.
