Hmm, I just noticed that appletviewer's shell script is hosed up, and it
probably happened when I tried to merge in the changes from Sun.

*sigh*  I don't have time to reroll a new release as I'm heading off to
my parents for Christmas, but the fix is rather easy.

in /usr/local/jdk1.1.7/bin/i386/green_threads/appletviewer, the
following lines should exist:

# Run the applet viewer. We hardware the debugger's class -- oh well.
#
curdir=`dirname $0`		# This line is missing...
if test "$debugging" = "true"
then
    if [ -x $curdir/java_g_X ]; then
....

curdir should be set else the appletviewer won't work. :(

Try that change and let me know (soonish... :)
