The archive= statement in the html should bring in the dx.jar . There should be not need to be any special classpath for netscape at runtime to load the client java files. That might have been the security exception.
The ERROR is good information. ImageMagick should be converting the miff files to gif, but isn't. If you are compiling dx from source, change line 85 of dx/src/exec/dxmods/_im_image.c to if(1) and you'll get more debugging information about what ImageMagick is up to. The IM folks have changed their API around quite a bit in the past, perhaps dx source is incompatible with this newest release.
