Works great! > Interesting, downloading the 128 bit version is a pain since it's only available thru the web. They finally came up with a glib2 version of the 128 bits version. Is there a version of this Fortify for winblows? My nephew who happen to live in Australia might be interested. > > And yes it works with RedHat 5.2, I use the 4.08 version.

My plugins compiled for glib2 would crash netscape. Somehow I've never been able to get a good setup with the libc5 version of Netscape 4.5. When I would go in the setup for the language it would flush netscape. The first time I installed it I couldn't even change the setup. I had to install another Netscape and use the setup file. I found out something weird with the version 4.08 libc5 which I used before. The time was weird, looked like GMT. After I installed the glibc2 Netscape 4.5 the time was displayed correctly. It even shows the date in French. It'd be nice if there was a French version of Netscape for Linux but we don't have that luxury. I have to boot on winblows NT to get that. -- TannοΏ½ du plantage avec Ti-Mou?
