Larry..
Further to my last message and to the following, I notice that the readme
file for Java Applet support says that the script for Java looks in a number
of places for java40.jar. And in particular looks for that file in
$HOME/.netscape, and /usr/local/netscape/java/classes.
Well I know I can get rid of my Netscape error by putting java40.jar in my
./netscape directory and that should be enough. But I thought I would take
this a step further, and I removed java40.jar from ./netscape and made up a
Sym link in /usr/local (ln -s /opt/netscape) . This also fixes the Netscape
error even though I removed java40.jar from my ./netscape directory. I guess
now that I have the directories needed by the java script, things will work.
Makes good sense, eh?
Thanks for your comments and direction. They indeed are appreciated..
