Pardon this Netscape interruption into the java-interest list, but allow
me to clarify a bit...
moz2_0.car is a file that comes with/from Netscape. It is only needed
by Netscape so that Netscape can run java applets. I have no idea what
this file actually is or does, but it's a Netscape thing -- it comes with
the Netscape (UNIX) browser distribution from Netscape.
Netscape introduced a bug into itself (at least in 2.0b2 for Solaris 2.4)
where it needs to have the comlete file path specified as the 1st item
in CLASSPATH. (CLASSPATH=/usr/classes/moz2_0.car works,
CLASSPATH=/usr/classes doesn't work -- this is in Solaris 2.4.)
JDK -- from Sun -- in itself, has NOTHING to do with moz2_0.car. BUT,
javac (the java compiler from Sun) breaks when it finds a complete file
path in CLASSPATH. JDK *doesn't* require moz2_0.car, but the fact that a
file (versus a directory) is in CLASSPATH makes javac fail. Thus java
development and Netscape-java-browsing don't work when initiated from
the same shell. (Did I say that this is in Solaris 2.4? ;-))
Hope this helps.
steve.
