There's BeOS 5 on the front cover this month.  I might install it next
week just to give it a go :-)

I've also got a Perl 5.6 update in tar.gz from the PC Plus CDs.  Had a
go at compiling and then realised that SuSE uses different compile
options than Red Hat and all of the others so I'll have to start
again.  I think Debian is different as well ?

There's Netscape Communicator 4.72 in Red Hat RPM form but I've
installed that and it still crashes.  The SuSE database says that
there's a serious problem with this version of Netscape and I'm
willing to believe it.  They say to install a different version.  Wish
I knew how to sort it out :-)  I've been using Netscape 3.01 and
that's ok.

Thanks
