Hi,

I have run the same signed applet example on windows NT with JDK1.1.4 and
everything works fine. Have you point your CLASSPATH and JAVA_HOME to
where your JDK1.1.4 resides?

We have discovered discrepancy existing between our JDK model with Netscape.
Work is on the way for inter-operability issues. For more information
on netscape implementation, please check:

Thanks,

Gigi Ankeny
