Wanted to browse the demos on: http://www.tcltk.com/tclets/ Then a Netscape popup box leads me to: http://www.sun.com/960710/cover/dlplugin.html I registered and downloaded the binary version for Linux which comes closest to FreeBSD as binary format. I tried both, the system wide installation and the user installation. Netscape even doesn't seem to find the plugin ... When trying to insert this into the applications manually Preferences->Applications->New In "Handeled By" the "Plug In:" field is still not active.. Is it possibly to let a Linux binary run as plugin ? Or is there something in sight, that there will be a FreeBSD version ?!
