I use 16bpp, netscape 3.01 and run java applets, no problem. The only troubles I've had are with the FreeBSD-native port of the 1.02 JDK. the java 'appletviewer' can't seem to handle 16bpp. My guess is that the 1.02 JDK doesn't support 16bit color for the appletviewer. Actually, the other bit of grief that I ran into w.r.t. the native JDK, and Kaffe as well are that both use the CLASSPATH environment variable to point to their zipped class libraries. This confuses netscape which expects it to point to java_301 ( its own zipped class library ). Hope this helps,, Andrew. ( Ho-ho-ho! Opinions are mine not those of Nortel. Ho-ho-ho! )
