I can't get netscape to execute eventhough I have permision and it is
an executable. I'm logged in as root.

When I try running it from an Xterm shell, it comes back saying
"file not found".

Try "./netscape& " without the quotes from
the sub-directory you de-compressed it in.

Simple Question: Where did you install netscape? May it be possible that
you want to start netscape out of your $HOME directory or another place
which is not part of your $PATH?

If you are root and want to start a file in the actual directory you
have to use the full path. Try something like this:

./netscape

As a followup to the previous responder, I would also ask where you
installed Netscape.
I always put the downloaded file in /usr, unpack it there, and it
runs fine.
When you run it for the first time, Netscape automatically sets up a
small subdirectory in whatever home directory you are in (in root, it
will put a .netscape subdir in /root, if you are in, say /home/dave/ it
will set one up there).
On other point I would like to add.
One of the frequent problems I've seen on these newsgroups is the one
where the user can't get Netscape to fit in the screen (it's always too
long, or too wide).
I use fvwm2-95 as my default windows manager, and in each users
directory there is a .fvwm2rc95 that sets up all your menu options.
What I like to do is set up Netscape as an application.
In the "Applications" section, I put this line in:

+ "Netscape%mini-nscape.xpm%" Exec /usr/netscape -geometry
1011x710+0+0 &

This will launch Netscape within the set parameters of your virtual
window.
