That new beta of Netscape Communicator 4.04 doesn't 
install on Warp 3.0 systems (it supports WarpServer and
Warp 4 only) although it actually works fine under Warp 3
(fixpack 29 (syslevel 8.253) or higher is required).

A lot of people still run Warp 3, and it's possible to install
Communicator on Warp 3 if you modify the Communicator
installation script.

Find the following lines in the beginning of NS40COMM.PKG:
FILE
   EXITWHEN      = INSTALL,
   EXIT          = 'SETVAR INSTALLING=INSTALLING'
EXIT
   DLL           = NS40EXIT.DLL
FILE
   EXITWHEN      = ALWAYS,
   EXIT          = SETOS2VERSION
FILE
   EXITWHEN      = INSTALL,
   EXIT          = NETSCAPEFIXPAK
EXIT
   DLL           = EPFIEXTS.DLL

Remove (or comment with asterisks) this text and replace
it with

FILE
   EXITWHEN      = ALWAYS,
   EXIT          = 'SETVAR V4X=TRUE'

Then you can run INSTALL.EXE and enjoy Communicator.
