All this is only highly theoretical, of course...but if you copy
/sbin/loader from Digital Unix, Netscape'll then tell you what libraries
it wants. On my system, it would have wanted:
libICE.so libXext.so libXt.so libdnet_stub.so
libSM.so libXm.so libc.so libm.so
libX11.so libXmu.so libcurses.so
But once I would have copied all those, it still wouldn't have run -- and
I would have been rather annoyed. It seems to be (theoretically) a rather
hit-and-miss proposition. It would theoretically work on some systems, and
not on others.
The academic price is still, I believe, over $500.
