Migration from Netscape to squid

I have the following problem: In my work we recently transferred the proxy
server from an NT 4.0 machine running Netscape Proxy Server 3.52 to a
suse 6.1 linux with kernel 2.2.13 running squid Squid/2.0.PATCH2. The
previous server supported autoconfiguration (.pac) files. Most of the
Netscape Clients in our company are a personalized Netscape Edition, have
been set up with automatic proxy configuration, and it would be a colossal
task to set them up again. The clients set with automatic configuration
report the following error:

>The automatic configuration file is not of the correct type
>proxy.foobar.com:8080
>Expected MIME type of application/x-javascript-config or
                        application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig
>Use the configuration from the previous session instead?

I added manually the above MIME types in squids mime.conf but it won't
work

What I ask is: where should I put the .pac file and what it should contain
in order that the clients would continue to work as they did
before. Additionally is there a compile option in squid that allows
support for autoconfig files?

Thanks in advance for your time
