the beta version is not registered as
part of your existing OpenVMS Internet Product Suite.
That is, the beta version does not replace the installed Navigator.
- You cannot remove a beta version using the
OpenVMS Internet Product Suite
REMOVE command.
You must delete the beta image by hand.
- If you define a symbol for a beta version,
do not use the symbol
NETSCAPE.

to invoke the installed and registered version.

The Navigator Gold with Java V3.03 software
is available for the Alpha platform
as a compressed self-extracting file. There is also a separate
file (not compressed) containing the Java class libraries.
|
You must download the new Java class library file to run
Java in V3.03!
|
Enter the following:
$ RUN downloaded-filename
Where:
| Variable |
Your value |
| downloaded-filename
|
NETSCAPE-EXPORT-ALPHA-V303C4R-JAVA-GOLD.EXE-DCX_AXPEXE
|
The system displays information about the
file compression version, and help information
about the command syntax.
At the Decompress into (file specification): prompt,
specify a new name and location
for the uncompressed file in the form
device:[directory]file-specification.
The system expands the file and places it
in the directory you specify with the new name.
For example:
Decompress into
(file specification): DISK$1:[SMITH]NETSCAPE-JAVA.EXE
For Java to function within the Navigator, the Java class libraries are
required. This is the file JAVA_301.
You can make this file available to the Navigator in one of two ways:
- Copy JAVA_301. to the [.NETSCAPE] subdirectory of SYS$LOGIN. (By default,
the Navigator looks in that directory for this file.)
- Copy JAVA_301. to a directory other than [.NETSCAPE] and define the
logical name NETSCAPE_CLASSPATH to point to that directory. For
example:
$ DEFINE NETSCAPE_CLASSPATH DEVICE:[DIRECTORY]JAVA_301
Do not rename the Java class library file; it must be named
JAVA_301. (no file type).
Start the Navigator using the RUN command. For example:
$ RUN DISK$1:[SMITH]NETSCAPE-JAVA.EXE
