I suspect this should be a FAQ, but I couldn't find =the= answer at
either the Netscape or the FreeBSD web site...

I've got a 2.1-STABLE system with Netscape 3.01 installed.  It works
just fine, with one exception.  Java applets do not run.  No useful
error messages or anything, just no workie.

I suspect it is some installation magic I missed.  Big hint, an 'ls -cl'
implies Netscape is never opening the zipped class library located in
"~/.netscape/java_301".

Here's the environment:
