I saw an interesting suggestion on the caldera users list that I
thought I'd pass on....

If you want, you can run Netcaster for AIX on Linux (hey, maybe there's
something to this Java stuff after all ;-).

Get the file
ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/4.03/shipping/english/unix/aix4/smart_update/nc10unb1.jar
and save it to /opt/netscape/java/classes (or wherever you stow your
Netscape classes).  As root, start up Communicator and open the file
/opt/netscape/java/classes/nc10unb1.jar ; this will start the Netcaster
iinstallation process.  Once it finishes, exit and any user should then
bbe able to fire up Communicator and run Netcaster.

I've tried it with 4.03 and it seems to work; Netcaster is just as slow
and pointless as it is on every other platform I've seen it on ;-).  

later,
chris
