I guess I need to make public apologies. Uninstalled all Java from my
system, downloaded and installed the JRE ( . . . again . . . ), and,
sure enough, the .dll was there. Only thing is . . . is /wasn't/ there
when I tried this two or three weeks ago; no idea why. Only difference
I can see is that it's now in C:\Program Files\Java\, /not/ (as
previously) C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\.
All I can say is that it /wasn't/ my imagination; the .dll really
/wasn't/ there. Who knows. . . .
Anyways, I'll stop bitching about it now. It /also/ makes it a lot
easier to recommend Mozilla to people, especially those using IE (those
who persist in using NN 4.x seem beyond the reach of reason).
And, again, I apologise.
