Perhaps I am the only one still using 1.3.1 ?  

Anyone else using JAVA 1.3.1 with FF, and are successful at using the
maps.google.com site?

As for innotek 1.4.x, I cannot find docs that discuss allowing it to run
along side the older original JAVA that came with Warp?   I haven't gotten
away from having the old 1.1.8 JAVA around just in case.  The 1.3.1
version does have a discussion about how to install it as a non-default
JAVA environment.   

If I could find such a doc for 1.4.x, I'd be fairly happy to replace 1.3.1
with the 1.4.x release from innotek.

Regards,
-Mark
