this will extract the files into a directory called communicator-... or
something like that.
# cd communicator*
# ./ns-install
When asked about where to install say /usr/local/netscape The files
will be installed under that directory.
# cd /usr/local/bin
Create a symbolic link from the bin directory tot he actual location of
the executable.
# ln -s /usr/local/netscape/netscape netscape
You can launch communicator from /usr/loca/bin/netscape

The final execuatable is not called communicator. It is called
netscape.
