Netscape 4.79 currently works well for me on a woody > system, but who knows how the innards of netscape think? "Bus error" can be caused by a corrupt file in your .netscape directory. Try moving "~/.netscape" to "~/.netscape.old" and then run netscape. If that fixes the error, you can then move bookmarks, abook, and maybe lipref.js over to the new .netscape to recover bookmarks, address book, and users preferences. -- Jerome
