This will take a while. We've been very busy. Maybe early next year.

"Java!" is certainly the best book on Java so far. It is however aimed
at the alpha3 release and won't help you much if you want to write applets
for the Netscape Navigator. Sami and I have written a book called "Hooked
on Java" which will be out in Decemeber which will provide more uptodate
input.

That is debugging message. File a bug against Netscape and win a T-shirt!
Have fun,
