Not really... Netscape 3.0 (w.r.t. Java) is NOT working fine.  Have you
ever tried to run Corel Office (the Java trial-version)?  It just starts
eating CPU and memory resources, and after a while, it had "eaten" my
64 MB memory AND 50 MB swap, so I only could press the reset-button
(or wait a few days, I guess...).  :-(

And I have to admit Corel seems to run on Netscape 3.0 for W95.

Is there anyone out there that was able to run Corel Office for Java
(http://206.116.221.27/preview/index.htm) on Linux with Netscape 3.0?

P.S.
I had similar experiences with other, very simple applets on some sites.
There the damage was not so big, but I had to kill Netscape to save my
system from a slow dead...
