Correction, 4.77 supports the mouse wheel, just takes a bit of manual
modification.

I run 'Netscape 4.77 [en]-20010326' here, at first I got a bit annoyed
because I could not use the mouse wheel and switched browsers. But due to
testing reasons I still needed netscape. After a bit of searching I found
A working .xdefaults config that worked fine.

Heres a copy of the text file I **created** (it didnt exist) in my home
dir:

Hope that helps out in the problem.
BTW: I run X4, with a USB IntelliMouse set up in XF86Config-4 like this:
-- 8<--
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Optical Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
#       Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/gpmdata"
#       Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "6 7"
        Option          "Buttons" "7"
EndSection
