Kavitha: | I want to know if there are any plugins for Unix based platforms, |specifically for FreeBSD, NetBSD, AIX? Most of the plugins I found on the |Web are for Windows & Mac. I have found a plugin-sdk for unix from |netscape developer site. But it just doesn't work, i.e. I'm able to |create the sharable object module and put it in .netscpae/plugins. But |netscape just doesn't recognise it. It doesn't even give any error. It |behaves as if the netscape/plugins directory is empty. Has anyone tried |this before? Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. I've had plugins working on FreeBSD with the Linux version of Netscape only (of course, the plug-ins need to be Linux .so's). However, Netscape didn't choose to add plug-in support to the BSD version of Netscape, at least they haven't as of version 3.0x -- I don't know about 4.x. Randall Hopper
