The NCSA Mosaic 0.13 Sun binary that was available on
ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in /Mosaic/xmosaic-binaries as xmosaic-sun up until
5 minutes ago was linked to Sun's libresolv.a, which is necessary for
Suns not running DNS and does not *usually* screw up Suns running DNS,
but does screw up a large enough (non-zero) percentage of Suns running
DNS that it is now apparent to Yours Truly that I can't just make
available a single Sun binary and expect it to work on all Suns on the
network.  Bummer.

The upshot is that there are now two Sun binaries available:

file://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Mosaic/xmosaic-binaries/xmosaic-sun
file://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Mosaic/xmosaic-binaries/xmosaic-sun-lresolv

If you picked up a copy of the previous xmosaic-sun 0.13 binary and it
didn't work for you, please pick up a copy of the new xmosaic-sun
binary and try it out (and if it still doesn't work, please yell at
me).

Sorry for the confusion,
Marc
