If the problem is with Netscape 4 then they already know about itA few months
back I was trying to get netscape to use
"Play" to play wav file sounds....I had the exact same problem.
I tried everything (including using "; & ' and a cast of other chgaricters) in
the definition as to trick netscape into working
I had no luck at all and never thinking it could be a bug in bash
reported it as a bug in netscapes bug system
just thinking now...
maybe if I strace netscape....it will show what the actual command line that it
passes is...hmm...
but if it works with ash....I can see no reason as a temporary fix to change sh
to link
to ash
(ill try it again when I get home)
