Erie,
I believe the java version that comes with SuSE 7.1, which is jdk1.1.8v1,
will not work properly with Netscape 6. You need jdk 1.3.0_01. It has been
a while since I set this up, but I recall I had to set up a path to netscape.
You cannot use both versions. I removed the old jdk . I set up my java
directory as /usr/javadks with one jre for netscape and the other for
StarOffice. Yes, they need different jres!
