I think maybe your "java_304" (? dunno, I have 3.01) is corrupted or
something to this effect.  If you look at a listing of this file
(actually a zip archive) you will find a numbered class:

Archive:  java_301
 Length    Date    Time    Name
 ------    ----    ----    ----
      6  10-20-96  19:13   96294.class
   3285  10-20-96  19:10   java/applet/Applet.class
...

If you decompile the numbered class, you find it just contains a number,
the same number as its name.  Another Netscape error msg. is something
like, "version does not match executable version", when the version of
the Netscape executable does not match up with the zip archive it finds.

HTH.
