I'd venture a guess that most people who have a Linux box sufficiently cool to run netscape at all, have the ability to run ELF. In fact, there are probably a lot of people (like everyone who bought Slackware 3.0 or a recent RedHat) for which netscape is the _only_ a.out binary on their system.
In order to run any of the recient kernels you HAVE to be running ELF. (Or have your copy of GCC upgraded to 2.7.0 or higher.) The docs make no mention of it, but it barfs on the make if you do not have it. (There are three flags that are not supported under the old versions of GCC.)

Are they keeping a list? As for Linux, last I heard it was still on the semi-supported list. (The dropping of BSD on the fasttrack server pisses me off as well, but that is another matter...) I would like to get a version of the Linux binary that supports 128 bit SSL.

I got a 128bit copy of Netscape 2.0 for Unix a few weeks ago (yes, all the Unix versions come on one CDROM). Under the Linux directory, there was no executable but there was a README file claiming that there is a 128bit version available from one of the Linux-associated vendors (Caldera I think?). I haven't followed up on it, and don't have a CDROM drive available right now to check this. -- Jeff

Caldera is selling and supporting navigator for linux as part of their network desktop product. If you want a 128-bit version, you would probably be best off lobbying them for it. --Jeff -- Jeff Weinstein - Electronic Munitions Specialist Netscape Communication Corporation jsw@netscape.com - http://home.netscape.com/people/jsw Any opinions expressed above are mine.
