If someone does get the go-ahead from Netscape to do the port on the existing
source or if people want help with the port when the 5.x sources come out, please
please please feel free to email me. I really do want Netscape on the RPC purely
because Phileas is erm not quite as fast as I had envisioned (Oh boy there I go
again, Neil!) and Ill be more than happy to pass on what I know of the Netscape
internals...
For history on this - Neil does have the only copy of a full Netscape Navigator
3.x for arm32 but under NCI's license from Netscape to Causality he cant give it
to anyone else (dont even ask - there are some changes to be done even if were to
pass it on like a non-dynamically liked Motif and non-dynamically linked security
libraries etc). However as Neil said if pressure was put on Netscape they may
well release that version to other people for a suitable fee....
