-33- Netscape complains about a conflicting 'Netscape' file. What should I do?

Date: 09 Dec 1995 00:00:01 EST

  The file in question, probably /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Netscape, is
  the X resources (app-defaults) file from another version of Netscape.
  No version of Netscape actually needs that file, so remove it and all
  your versions of Netscape can coexist.

  If you can't, or if you want a customized app-defaults file for each
  version of Netscape, use a script like this:

  #!/bin/sh
  # Set NS to the directory containing the Netscape distribution
  NS=/usr/local/lib/netscape-2.0b3
  XUSERFILESEARCHPATH=$NS/%N.ad:$XUSERFILESEARCHPATH
  export XUSERFILESEARCHPATH
  exec $NS/netscape $*
