Re: [SLE] The new Netscape pr2 is out.

      Fred,

Have you tried this: ./netscape >& /dev/null &

This sends all the output to /dev/null so there is not as much IO 
overhead.  It seems to run faster that way.

I'm having problems with screen refresh in certain situations.  The one 
thing that was keeping me from using Moz fulltime was lack of download 
capability.  Now that it is working - still a bit buggy - I will start 
using Moz primarily, unless something realy nasty happens. 

The Netscape folks are a great bunch.  See the code at the bottom of 
this post.

On thing they are working on over there at www.mozilla.org is nspr.  
That is Netscape Portable Rnutime.  This abstracts the system interface 
in such a way that code writtin on one platform will run on any other.

As always, Moz is open source.  It belongs to the world.  What it 
becomes is what we make it.

It's PAINFULLY s-l-o-w, but I think that's because of the debug code. I
will say, that it hasn't crashed, there's more features, and the setup
works without crashing. So, maybe........

The following code was bundled with one of the Netscape development

there is a profound statement in their stuffing it in the tarball.  It
has to do with open source.
