Both it and the netscape3 port (which javac needs) installed correctly. I was able to compile and run the following: mport java.awt.Graphics; public class HelloWorld extends java.applet.Applet { public void paint(Graphics g) { g.drawString("Hello world!", 5, 25); } } Not a very strigent test, but hey! As I said in another post, however, under -stable I can't seem to be able to _view_ applets with Netscape3 ("atlas"). I've been forced to keep Netscape2.01-linux around for that purpose (running under the emulator). I'd be interested in hearing what other FreeBSDers are doing with java. --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Owens Email: owensc@enc.edu "I read somewhere to learn is to Information Technology Services remember... and I've learned that Eastern Nazarene College we've all forgot..." - King's X -------------------------------------------------------------------------
