This may be coincidental to the OS upgrade. I also installed the linux navigator running in emulation mode, and this, too, simply ignores any java applet code -- or so it seems. The java console never displays. My Options/Network Prefs.../Languages is set to run Java. /usr/local/lib/netscape/java_301 exists, has been re-installed from the distribution, and has a+r perms. No proxies are in use. No classes are ever downloaded, according to the message bar. I'm at a loss to explain what could be causing this problem, but it's vital to my work that I'm able to run java. I'd appreciate any and all suggestions on what may be the problem! Very much obliged, -david kulp. dkulp@neomorphic.com
