Here is what happens - suppose there are two versions of a class file v1, v2. Version 1 is loaded with http://host.domain/file-with-applet.html, version 2 with http://host.domain:80/file-with-applet.html. But if a third version is created, neither of the two host.domain will load the third. One will have to create a new alias for the host. I have used the applet viewer that comes with SUN's JDK for the PoerMac. I don't have this problem there. This, at least, proves that the problem is not with kaffe on FreeBSD. There is something in netscape 3.0 that causes the problem. At the moment, I am using the applet viewer as I develop my java applications. Netscape comes in only after a stable, non-changing applet has been created. -- Sohail Aslam Department of Computer Science, Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) Lahore, Pakistan tel: 92-42-572-2670 fax: 92-42-572-2591 email: aslam@lums.edu.pk
