hi,

to be compliant, netscape only has to support the java core,
which currently exists in the java package.
unfortunately, javakey only exists in the 'sun' package,
so netscape does not have to support it.
> Javakey was so nice and simple --- it was great!
i hope you don't get too attached to javakey. :)
in jdk1.2 (beta soon), javakey no longer exists.
but don't worry, we replaced it with even nicer and simpler
tools.
> Can you direct me to something SIMPLE that works?
unfortunately, to get signed applets to work in netscape,
i believe you have the exact information that i have as well:
