Netscape is already in ram. However, if you aren't doing AWT things, you ought to be using the shared-motif java. AWT wont work if you dont have Motif, but everthing else should. And it should run faster. If you'ld try and let me know if it does, I'd be appreciavtive. thanks, --randy On Tue, 13 Feb 1996, Neil Archibald wrote: > > I'm sad to bring this up, but I've quit using the Linux java kit, (kind > of) on the basis that using the netscape hack way of compiling java > programs against the linux's try1 classes.zip IS ACTUALLY faster.
