I have posted this fic for Java to several groups... The problem is the libc
and netscape interaction....older libc's work fine. see below

5.2.18 works great and runs ALL the demos. The procedure to get it running is:
1. got libc-5.2.18.bin.tar.gz from archives.
2. extracted it in a temp directory :
mkdir /usr/src/libctemp
cp libc-5.2.18.tar.gz /usr/src/libctemp
cd /usr/src/libctemp
tar xvzf libc*gz
3. copied the libc.so.5.2.18 to /lib:
cd lib
cp libc.so.5.2.18 /lib
4. created a batch file, runnetscape.sh to start netscape in /usr/local/bin:
#!/bin/bash
#
export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libc.so.5.2.18
unset CLASSPATH
/usr/local/bin/netscape &
#
5. change this script to execute:
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/runnetscape.sh
6. in my FVWM and lg where I start netscape, I change references to
/usr/local/bin/runnetscape.sh

Use LINUX -- It works.... Win95 Crashes....
MickySoft should rename Start to Crash per truth in advertising laws.
Where do you want to CRASH today?
