HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

I have FINALLY got Netscape displaying Java apps on my FreeBSD 2.1R system.

Send $10 to... no, I am joking.

I did what everyone suggested:

	setenv CLASSPATH /usr/local/netscape/java/classes/java_30
	cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
	mkfontdir

BUT, what I hadn't done before was to put the CLASSPATH declaration in my 
.cshrc file, logout, login again, start up Xwin, and POOF!  It worked.

I was changing the CLASSPATH variable from a shell, and then running 
Netscape, trusting to Netscape to have it as one would expect a child 
process to inherit the environment of the parent.  But NOOOOOOOOOO.

Good luck, folks!  And NEE-NER to Microsoft and their filthy operating 
system, Lose95.
