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.
