I'm generally a Mac advocate, but, from where I sit,  Netscape's  Java
support in its Mac version of its browser has been unstable for me since I
can remember, up through at least Netscape 4.05 for Mac, the latest version
I'm using a lot.   Your note makes me less than eager to upgrade the Macs
to NS 4.5

[ M$ haters hold on to your hats......]   When Java stalls or crashes
Netscape on my Mac(s), or crashes my  Mac completely, I fire up IE 4.0   (I
know, I'm versions behind here, too!)
