Hmm.  I must not have made myself clear.

I have had _no problems_ running any of the statically-linked Netscape 
Navigator/Communicator binaries: pre-1.0, 1.x, 2.x, 3.x, or 4.x.  
That's what I _thought_ I made clear, earlier.

What I was saying was that it used to be nice, in days of yore, to 
run the Navigator pre-1.0/1.x series with one's Motif libs, and
I was looking forward to doing so again with 4.03 -- but that this 
seems to require _antique_ Motif libs, which I do not now own.

Are you saying that Lesstif suffices for the dynamically-linked 
Communicator 4.03 binary for Linux, or not?  Thanks.
