What I meant by "use the port" is run Make install from the /usr/ports/whatever/netscape/whatever/ directory while connected to the net. This will download Netscape, create the wrapper, put Netscape in the correct directory, etc. Using this method, Netscape should be installed correctly, and Java, etc. should work. Prior to "using the port," I merely downloaded and tried to install it, and set CLASSPATH in my .cshrc, etc, but this failed. Netscape worked but Java didn't. -- Nathan V. Patwardhan nvp@shore.net
