Adding :80 after the hostname loads the newer version of the .class file
but only once. 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.
