I'm running 2.1 -Stable and netscape 3.0 (and applets) are
running fine!

} This is very strange. I can tell you exactly what the sequence of
} events was in my installation of that port:
}
} 1. Fetch the tar file. Contemplate unpacking and installing it by hand
} but decide "no, wait, I might as well just create a port for this right
} here and now instead."
}
} 2. Move the tar file to the distfiles directory and clone the netscape2
} port as netscape3 (the missing "fetch" step here is why I blew the
} initial path to the tarball, which Satoshi fixed - whoops!).
}
} 3. Fix the new netscape3 port to DTRT for the slightly different structure
} of the new port - mainly just change "hot-convert.sh" to "moz3_0.zip"
} since the hot-convert script was gone and the moz3_0.zip file added.
}
} 4. Make install. Yow - it worked!
}
} 5. Visit http://java.sun.com and run all the applets there. Yow, they
} work too!
}
} 6. Import the port.
}
} I'm running 2.2-current; I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
