Hello Marcel,
Thanks for the lead,
I tried everything with Netscape 2.02. It definitely is not (and probably
can't be) Java powered on a 68K Mac (LCII 68030) as advertized, even with
JDK (1.0.2) installed.
Moreover, JDK's "standalone" applications cannot work "as is" on my mac,
in spite it fulfills the minimal requirements as advertized on the
Javasoft site. A fast look at the Readme files in the JDK package
indicate that it might work after recompiling everything (every
standalone application).
The Java applets work within Netscape 3.0b4, however it is very slow, and
do not always come to completion (the system freezes).
I'll try to live with this...
