Both 3.0 and 3.01b1 are in there. Netscape 3.0 and higher support applets under BSD, but there is a problem with the font dir that you need to take care of. The port will tell you to do this: Note: If Java applets fail to display. Type this as root: cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir chmod 444 fonts.dir And then exit and restart your X server. (you don't really need to restart the X server, just type: "xset fp rehash") -- Jake
