For responding but the Fat Cigar goes to .... Mark Scarborough
who supplied the following...
#!/bin/sh
XFILESEARCHPATH= ; export XFILESEARCHPATH
XUSERFILESEARCHPATH= ; export XUSERFILESEARCHPATH
MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/local/netscape; export MOZILLA_HOME
XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/local/netscape; export XAPPLRESDIR
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/netscape; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
MOZILLA_NO_ASYNC_DNS=True; export MOZILLA_NO_ASYNC_DNS
#
/usr/local/bin/netscape -install -geom 900x900+200+0 &
This little script appears to fix the problems which is in
many ways bizarre as I have 4.03b8 installed as a network
package that automounts under /pkg/netscape-4.04b8.
So after a little experimentation I can reduce this script
to...
#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/netscape; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/pkg/netscape-4.03b8/netscape/netscape &
Now I think that the async dns may reduce some access problems
but the rest is clearly black magic. What is amusing is
that there is no /usr/lib/netscape on my system!!!
At this point I have to confess ignorance as I am v.familiar
with the operation of LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Solaris and IRIX but
does this mechanism exist in DU?
