Looking around my system I find a file ~/.netscape/plugin-list which contains: PluginList Version 1 /usr/local/netscape-4.61/plugins/libnullplugin.so 927846619 *: .*:All types; pluginName=Netscape Default Plugin pluginDescription=The default plugin handles plugin data for mimetypes and extensions that are not specified and facilitates downloading of new plugins. /usr/marko/.netscape/plugins/librvplayer.so 937674202 audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin: rpm:RealPlayer(tm) as Plug-in; pluginName=RealVideo Player plugin pluginDescription=This plugin handles Real Audio and Real Video streams. /usr/local/netscape-4.61/plugins/nppdf.so 940102781 application/pdf: pdf:Portable Document Format; pluginName=nppdf.so Not sure what the number, 940102781, is; probably a checksum. You could try adding this manually. If this number is a checksum I don't know whether this one will work for you. My nppdf.so is: # ls -l /usr/local/Acrobat4/Browsers/intellinux total 112 -rwxr-xr-x 1 1852 25 104216 May 18 1999 nppdf.so HTH > Thanks, > Jim > > > > > Hmm, I'm using Netscape-linux 4.61, not 4.7, but I've got nppdf.so in > > /usr/local/netscape-4.61/plugins and it works fine (and shows up in > > Help->About Plug-ins). > > > > Does it show up as a Helper?
