>What's this vreg?
from README.install in the communicator 4.7 tar.gz
=[begin]====8<---------
The recommended way to install this software is to use 'ns-install',
a relatively simple Bourne shell script that will properly extract
and install all the files now present in this release. It also runs
a command ('vreg') that enables you to receive future maintenance
releases and product updates for individual components that might
change between major product revisions. It does this by creating
or updating a small file to keep track of the product name, version,
and installation directory. This information is not broadcast to any
external entity (including Netscape), and is used only by Communicator.
-[ end ]---->8=========
and latter when they give manual directions:
=[begin]====8<---------
4) mv vreg /usr/local/netscape (if you want ASD (i.e., "push") to work)
[...]
The following step is optional (see above):
8) echo 'Communicator,4.7.0.19990915,/usr/local/netscape' > /tmp/infile
vreg /usr/local/netscape/registry /tmp/infile

I assume you were asking "Is someone..."
Yes, it's an elf binary. <grrr> :\

I want a binary interface to the brain!
Today's opto-mechanical digital interfaces are just too slow!
