I don't fully understand the voodoo that happenned to make Linux Doom
run on the latest NetBSD kernel but can't the same be true for Netscape?
The Netscape I have on my Linux is a static binary so it's not like it
needs the libraries or anything else.

While I'm on the subject...  in a nutshell, exactly how did the COMPAT_
LINUX (or whatever option) come to be?  What kind of a hack was it?
Just getting the kernel to understand a foreign libs and the binaries
headers (a.out.h)?

I have Linux`95, NetBSD-1.0 (11/??/94 yeah I'm behind), FreeBSD and DOS
all over my hard drives.  Maybe I'll see about getting NT.  Yeah right,
and maybe I'm a chinese jet pilot.
 
Be nice to have everything mounted under the Unix systems and be able
to run anything from the other.
