  Same here, (BtW, I don't find any negative performance or reliability issues
with the 128 bit version).

  This may indeed matter.  I have;
SET CLASSPATH=D:\JAVA11\LIB\CLASSES.ZIP;.\.;
as my class path and, as you rightly point out, the ;D:\JAVA11\DLL; in both
the LIBPATH and the PATH statement.  I set the class path for JSTREET in the
parameters of that object so it doesn't clutter up the system CLASSPATH.  The
reason why I'm stating all this is that I believe that NS would need to be
pointed to the CLASSES.ZIP correctly for JAVA to function - so it may need to
be FIRST in the path?

  Will, I'm not aware of this update - just the DLL?  I guess it may be
possible to identify just the changed DLL but that may confuse some.  The GA
update from Hursley consists of the following files that need to be run from
the root of the drive containing JAVA11.
\runtime.exe -a-- 7260080 99/09/17 13:06
\toolkit.exe -a-- 4217056 99/09/17 13:07 - probably superfluous info but just
for completeness.  These fixes are necessary in my view - and have improved
the VOLANO and CAFINEMARK performance of my system - a 200MHz PPro
outperforming 1.1.7a on a 355MHz.
  Last point, heading Performance (1.3) of the README found in the
D:\netscape\program\read.me directory, talks about the "heap" size and how it
is set by the developer kit.  It may be possible that this needs to be set in
the parameters of NS as the JAVA installation is either "bad" or "missing" or
installed under different memory conditions.  I've played with this min-max
state and have stopped JAVA working on NS.  Normally, the default will work
for 99% of the installations, but may just be useful in getting Bat's system
to operate?
