No luck here but then I never had a need to run Java on a 68k Mac... > Not gonna work. Even if it did, it would be impractically slow. Java > on > anything below about a G3 is *worthless*. It works OK on a 604e running OS 9.1, but it is slightly sluggish. I used to test Java for my housemates, who were comp-sci students, on my 7300/200, just to make sure it *did* work on more than one platform. To be bluntly honest web-based Java doesn't work right under OS X 10.2.2, never mind OS 7,8 or 9. That's obviously the fault of the browser not Apple's Java runtime libs but it's still not the best of situations... -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.gotdns.com> Visit my Homepage: <http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson> "Never send a human to do a machine's job." -The Matrix -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
