As I recall that just includes the class files. You also need something that runs java bytecode. I gather kaffe does this (have not tried) and Netscape is suppoed to, but doesn't always work too well. I've been using the liunx jdk port with success under -current. It supports the GUI stuff which is pretty important if you are doing applet coding and don't want to hassle with netscape just to view the darn things. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ================
