Well, the lack of a decent, portable web browser (which doesn't require a
machine running at several hundred MHz) is really a problem for the open
source community, IMHO.
I don't require the absolutely latest version of Netscape, either, just
something like version 3 or 4.

Mostly runs? Does that mean that your copy runs more properly than Matthew's?

That's odd, I read as late as this evening that there was no Netscape for
Ultrix. If there in fact is such a port, could it be run under emulation?
