Hi,

I converted Brad recipe (only for communicator) to a script (attached at end).

#!/bin/bash
set -e
set -x 

   DC=communicator-v475.x86-unknown-linux2.2
   D=netscape4.75-4.75

   tar xpzf communicator-v475-us.x86-unknown-linux2.2.tar.gz

   dpkg-source -x netscape4.73_4.73-19.dsc
   mv netscape4.73-4.73 $D

   cat <<EOF  > ftmp
