Thanks to everyone who has offered help.

We're still unable to run the get a LiveConnect script to work using the 
  FileReader object. (it fails for some other Java classes also, but I'm 
focussing on FileReader for the sake of simplicity).

I have one report from someone who says that the script does work for 
him with JRE 1.4.2 on Windows XP Prof. However, it won't work for us in 
any of the environments we've run it in, including Windows XP Prof (2002 
Service Pack 1).

Does anyone know of anything *new* in the environment that has to be set 
up in order for the full LiveConnect functionality to work?

In our tests, we are using the following line in the users pref.js file:

   user_pref("signed.applets.codebase_principal_support", true);

is that *all* that needs to be done?

Here is a summary of the platforms we've tested on, the code only works
for us in Netscape 4.x

Fails in:
   Windows XP Prof/Mozilla 1.4/JRE 1.4.2
   Windows 2000/Mozilla 1.4/JRE 1.4.2
   Red Hat Linux 8.0/Mozilla 1.4/JRE 1.4.2

Works in:
   Windows XP Prof/Netscape 4.x/JRE 1.4.2
   Windows 2000/Netscape 4.x/JRE 1.4.2
   Red Hat Linux 8.0/Netscape 4.8/JRE 1.4.2

Once again, I would be delighted to hear anyone's opinion.

Regards,

Simon Taylor
