Binary emulation is in the kernel.  You need to make sure that your
kernel was built with the proper COMPAT_* options in order for it to
work, see options(4) and the compat_*(8) manpages.

Either BSDI or Linux binaries of released versions of netscape should
work fine.  I've seen reports of problems with various beta 4.*
versions.

I believe there is WordPerfect 5.1 for SCO, which some people (not
myself) have running under SVR4 emulation.  There is also Applix for
Linux.
