15 Ah, so this is still the case (I haven't been following the
16 discussions too actively lately). As to a 3.2.x savvy java package,
17 is there such a thing? [ Sun 1.4.1 still seems to use RH 6.1
18 as a development platform, and insists on OpenMotif 2.1 ] I guess
19 no java for me then, I really don't want to recompile mozilla and
20 presumably this will open all sorts of worms of its own...
21
22 Just curious, how is this supposed to be handled for 1.4??? (does
23 the x86 crowd have a solution?)

25 Thanks,
