Re: tlug: Dad-blamed Netscrape again

[Tetsuji Rai <tetsuji@example.com>]

I japanized my netscape 4.08 with muriyari-nihongo.   Bus Error occurs when 
you have not japanized netscape and you set resources (Netscape*inputMethod: 
kinput2
Netscape*international: True).   I use RH 5.2, but it doesn't matter.  If you 
Japanized your netscape correctly it should work.   I recommend to make sure 
you have japanized for sure.
