Hmm. How about making them really use ~/.netscape-474 and ~/.netscape-6, and writing a script for each version which symlinks ~/.netscape to the right place and then invokes the appropriate executable? I'm assuming Netscape doesn't check if ~/.netscape is a real directory as opposed to a symbolic link - if it does, then you can just rename directories as needed. You'd have to remember never to run both at the same time, though! >I installed these from the .tar.gz's, not the .deb's > >I need this to be able to hit ssl sites under linux. I thought Netscape 6 supported SSL with the add-on Personal Security Manager? I don't want to actually start Netscape 6 for the same reasons :), but grepping for SSL in my copy of Netscape 6 PR1 matches several times in psm/doc/release_notes.html (among other places, like components/libnkhttps.so and libnkssl.so). And I'm pretty sure Netscape 4.74 has SSL support. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
