Re: how do I upgrade Netscape to 128 bit version

[Tom Pfeifer <tplists@optonline.net>]

You can do it by installing the fortify packages listed below. Fortify
will modify the existing binary to add the 128 bit encryption. They are
in the non-us distribution:

fortify             1.4.6-0.1   
fortify-linux-x86   1.4.6-0.1          

If you use apt-get, you can add a line like below to
/etc/apt/sources.list, and then run 'apt-get update', and then 'apt-get
install fortify fortify-linux-x86' to install the packages. From there
read the fortify documentation...the procedure is straight forward.
