Re: JavaScript and JAVA
I can corroborate this too; Actually just now Netscape got further than last time in legitimately getting to my online bank account, even so far as accepting the verisign certificate needed for authentification. The documentation with the account doesn't list linux or any of the Unixes in system requirements If they are worried about Linux as a hackers toolbox it must be possible to write a java applet to exclude it. It was a java jar that finally killed netscape. It seems not to be java per se that kills netscape. regds AngusC On Wed, 12 Apr 2000, Pollywog wrote: I have JavaScript enabled in Netscape, but a certain website was crashing Netscape each time I visited. I started up Star Office and I enabled JavaScript but it complained that it could not find JAVA and JAVA is needed in order to use JavaScript. That's news to me; I thought JAVA and JavaScript were two entirely different things. I do not want to install the JDK. Netscape does not complain that the JDK is not installed; is that because Netscape includes JAVA libraries that SO does not have? -- Andrew -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null -- _ _ | | | | __ _ _ __ _ __ _ _ | |_| |/ _` | '_ \| '_ \| | | | | _ | (_| | |_) | |_) | |_| | |_| |_|\__,_| .__/| .__/ \__, | |_| |_||___/ _ _ __ __ _ _ __ | \ | | _ __ | \/ (_) | | ___ _ __ (_)_ _ _ __ ___ | \| |/ _ \ \ /\ / / | |\/| | | | |/ _ \ '_ \| | | | | '_ ` _ \ | |\ | __/\ V V / | | | | | | | __/ | | | | |_| | | | | | | |_| \_|\___| \_/\_/ |_| |_|_|_|_|\___|_| |_|_|\__,_|_| |_| |_|

Excuse me if I'm twisting your question slightly. Xcin uses .pcf fonts and the shell script that comes with it will even fire up crxvt (assuming you installed rxvt-ml_2*) and the input window with your favourite input method.

Excuse me hopping on here, but I liked the hamm version of ncftp in this regard. The beta version that comes with slink , ncftp3 if I remember correctly, doesn't handle resuming downloads as yet.
