According to wire reports Netscape has decided to release the source
code to Netscape Communicator.  This was apparently announced at
a meeting to promote freeware held last week by such heavy weights in the 
freeware world as Linus Torvalds of Linux fame and Phil Zimmerman who
wrote the original PGP.  If this report is accurate any takers to port
Navigator or Communicator to DJGPP?  Hopefully the source has not become
too deeply mired in WIN32 API crap already.
