Wrong syntax. If you are in the same directory as the executable, but
it (that directory) is not in your $PATH, then the syntax
is ./Netscape, not /.Netscape. The latter syntax would tell it to
look in the / directory or partition, for a hidden file
called .Netscape. Taint gonna work (unless thats where you put it
that is :-)
